Who We Are
Destiny Helpers NPO is a registered nonprofit organization based in Macassar, Cape Flats, dedicated to restoring hope, dignity, and opportunity to vulnerable individuals and families.
Through weekly food programs, civic access support, youth empowerment initiatives, and sustainable development, we are committed to creating a compassionate, inclusive society—one life at a time.
Founded by Fred Petersen and supported by a dedicated board, Destiny Helpers NPO was born out of a calling to serve the forgotten and undocumented communities of the Cape Flats.
What began as small food drops has grown into a full community support initiative.
What We Do
01.
— Food Security
We provide weekly food parcels to over 100 families through the Apostolic Faith Mission (AFM) Church and the L Flats community—offering nourishment, dignity, and hope.
02.

We assist undocumented individuals in applying for South African IDs and ensure children can access education through school enrollment support. Our work opens doors to essential healthcare, social grants, and stability.

Through mentorship programs, agricultural training, and life skills workshops, we empower young people to become changemakers in their communities.
Impact Stories
Beneficiary, Macassar
“I was undocumented for 15 years. Today, I have my ID and my daughter is in school.”
A Brighter Future — For Children in the Cape Flats
Before Destiny Helpers NPO stepped in, my three children were not able to attend school regularly. As an undocumented parent living in an informal settlement in Macassar, I struggled to register them without proper paperwork. Every door felt closed. I felt invisible.
