Abstract

Charitable organisations and individuals in South Africa have provided philanthropic support to refugees for many years. This includes volunteering their time, providing material support and giving information to help refugees integrate into local communities. But who are these givers and what motivates them to help?. The HSRC's Steven Gordon explored this behaviour in a paper, summarised here by Antoinette Oosthuizen
