My conscience lies with the people of South Africa and I welcome this opportunity to make a small contribution to the amazing work that the South African Angels are doing in the country of my birth.
I am privileged to have met, in the Angel Network Australia, like minded people with a similar history and principles to me and together we have established a sustainable charity in Australia to support the well established TAN branches in South Africa.

I immigrated to Australia in 1996 and left my heart in Africa.

I immigrated to Australia in 1996 and left my heart in Africa.
So many amazing memories overshadowed by never ending worries of what I’d left behind.
Sixteen years ago I started raising money for FeedSA and then recycling and sending books, school/sports uniforms, shoes and general clothes to SA, Zambia, Kenya, Congo and local Australian communities.
My involvement with The Angel Network has brought so much meaning and joy into my life. I feel truly honoured to have the opportunity to help others in their time of need and to work alongside such an extraordinary team of compassionate, caring and dedicated people. Their generosity, kindness and unwavering commitment to making a difference are constantly inspiring. It is a privilege to be part of something so special, where even the smallest act of kindness can make a meaningful difference in someone's life

I grew up in Cape Town, South Africa, and continue to have a deep love and connection to the country and people that shaped me and will always be my home. I left for Australia in 2008, and have worked in consulting and financial services in both South Africa and Australia.
Thanks to the generosity of so many people, the Angel Network quietly makes a real impact for children across South Africa. I feel privileged to play a role in a network committed to making a difference to those most in need when it matters.

I arrived in Sydney in 1998 excited about a sea change and setting up my own Playball Kids Sports business.

I arrived in Sydney in 1998 excited about a sea change and setting up my own Playball Kids Sports business. In South Africa I enjoyed using Playball to help young children integrate and play together in a multicultural environment. I really miss that aspect of my work but endeavour to give back in the way of supporting the wonderful work of the Angel Network in Australia, in making the lives of the vulnerable and less fortunate children and adults better. Together, we can change people’s lives 🌻

For over ten years, I have been privileged to be part of The Angel Network Team. Although I have lived in far away Melbourne for over 40 years, a part of my heart will always belong to South Africa. Being involved with The Angel Network gives me the opportunity to give back to my home country—something that is incredibly meaningful and close to my heart.
It is deeply rewarding to help raise funds that enable the dedicated South African Angel Network team make a difference in the lives of so many South Africans. Knowing that our efforts help create brighter futures filled with hope and opportunity is truly inspiring.

I’m Martine Chait born and raised in beautiful Cape Town. My husband and I moved to Sydney 23 years ago and have recently returned after living in Switzerland for 4 years. I feel blessed to have “found” and now assisting the Angel Network who are genuinely a team of “real” Angels who really do make dreams come alive!! We’ve been fortunate enough to sponsor our very own kitchen in Cape Town in honour of our two children whom we lost over the years and by giving back and feeding hundreds of children we’re able to keep our angels from above spirits alive .. thank you 🙏

Despite having left South Africa over 20 years ago, my heart remains with the rich African community I grew up in and amongst.
Desperate to help, I approached some fully fledged Sydney Angels and in a matter of months The Angel Network Australia was born.
As a busy psychologist/organisational consultant and mum of two beautiful teenagers, my hands are quite full so having such a committed group of ladies (man Angels are welcome) in Sydney making this happen is a true gift.
My hope is that the expat community in Sydney will stand behind the Angel Network and stop to briefly reflect on the depth, hope and spirit imbedded in the beautiful country we all grew up in.

The Angel Delivery Circuit is a community-led initiative built on compassion, dignity and the belief that no one should have to face hardship alone. I joined the Angel Network in 2022 and, inspired by the generosity within our community, created the Angel Delivery Circuit in 2023 to provide practical, hands-on support where it was needed most.
We coordinate meals, groceries and essential household items for individuals and families facing crisis, trauma and financial hardship. We also collect food and everyday necessities for community pantries, helping ensure essential supplies reach those quietly doing it tough.
Our support has expanded to vulnerable members of the community, including those in aged care, while also creating small employment opportunities for people struggling to find or maintain regular work.
Following the Bondi massacre, we were among the early community responders, providing food and ongoing practical support to affected families for weeks after the trauma.
At its heart, Angel Delivery Circuit is about showing up quietly, consistently and with kindness-so people know they are never alone.
