Leave a Legacy That Lasts

Transforming Community Health Systems for Generations to Come

By including One to One Africa in your Will, you’ll help strengthen rural community health systems, empower women, and ensure that vulnerable children receive the care, education, and opportunity they deserve. Your legacy becomes part of a living movement — one that began over two decades ago and continues to grow across Africa.

From One to One to Thousands

What began as a small pioneering model for community-based health and care is now growing across the rural Eastern Cape and beyond.

From putting the first 250 South African children on lifesaving HIV treatment when it was still denied by the government — to training thousands of community health workers who now serve as a bridge between clinics and families — One to One has always believed that big change begins with small acts of courage.

Today, in partnership with the South African government, our Mentor Mothers — local women trained as trusted health advocates — cover more than 5,000 km² of rural Eastern Cape. They support expectant mothers, track HIV treatments, and bring healthcare directly into homes. Their work saves lives every day.

Now, with your support, we can take this model to scale — across provinces, and eventually across the continent.

A Gift That Keeps on Giving

Writing a Will is a personal act — one that naturally puts your loved ones first. But it can also be a moment to express what you believe in most deeply.

By leaving a charitable bequest to One to One Africa, you can:

  • Transform lives in perpetuity — helping children, mothers and families to flourish.
  • Support proven, scalable solutions already adopted by governments.
  • Reduce estate duty while expressing your enduring values of care and justice.

Your legacy becomes a lifeline — a commitment to a healthier, fairer future.

Introducing the One to One Elders

Leaving a legacy is an act of vision. The One to One Elders is our community of legacy supporters — individuals and families who share a belief that sustainable change begins at the community level.

As an Elder, you’ll stay close to the work you support, with invitations to annual gatherings, private updates from our team, and opportunities to visit programmes on the ground. You’ll be part of something lasting: a community united by the will to make a difference that endures.

“Through our combined legacy, what began as One to One Children’s Fund will continue as One to One Africa — locally led, globally supported, and capable of transforming community health systems for generations to come.”
 — David Altschuler, Founder & Chair
