Find out which government social protection programmes you or your household may qualify for. Covers cash transfers, child grants, unemployment support, and more.
Most programmes require in-person registration at your local government office, social welfare office, or Huduma Centre (Kenya) / SASSA office (South Africa). Bring valid ID, proof of residence, and proof of income/household status.
Generally no — most countries have rules against double-dipping (receiving multiple cash grants simultaneously). However, some combinations are allowed (e.g., a child support grant and a disability grant in South Africa).
Most programmes are technically available nationally, but access can be more difficult in rural areas due to distance from registration offices. Community-based registration drives periodically occur — check your local government notice board.
