How 2 Help - A guide to worthwhile causes is at once a practical and inspiring book that highlights the needs and stories behind some of the many voluntary projects in Cape Town.

The guide includes the amazing stories behind forty-six worthwhile and sustainable local projects, contact details and a list of ways to help for each initiative. It also includes a grid to help you work out which projects fit your interests and a table that enables you to match the time you have to offer with the projects which could benefit.
