The City of Johannesburg is calling for action against homelessness through the 2026 702 Jozi My Jozi Walk the Talk.
This event encourages participants to engage in responsible giving by purchasing Mi-Change vouchers via the Zlto platform. This approach aims to provide essential support while connecting recipients to vital services.
Transforming Giving in Johannesburg
The 702 Jozi My Jozi Walk the Talk is not just a walk; it is a movement aimed at addressing the homelessness crisis in Johannesburg. Tens of thousands of South Africans face this daily reality, and the event seeks to mobilize citizens to contribute meaningfully.
Unstructured giving, particularly cash handouts, can perpetuate addiction and dependency. The initiative promotes the use of Mi-Change vouchers, which offer immediate essentials and connect individuals to support services, including counselling and rehabilitation.
Key Figures on Mi-Change Vouchers
- Over R200m in cash donations are handed directly to people on South Africa’s streets annually.
Engagement and Responsibility in Philanthropy
Participants are encouraged to purchase Mi-Change vouchers to ensure aid is distributed effectively. This method fosters a scalable network of support, partnering with organizations like MES and U-Turn to empower individuals towards sustainable independence.
Businesses and community groups are invited to integrate voucher purchasing into their social impact initiatives, transforming philanthropy into a long-term investment in community resilience.
