SASSA Foster Child Grant 

SASSA foster child grant as the name suggests is designed to support a foster national child who is under the citizenship of South Africa and is being left by their genetic parents to foster child houses in the country.

This program is one of the best humanitarian financial programs from the pool of SASSA aid grants. This program is legally approved by the South African Child Care Act and is now being successfully delivered to deserving children of South Africa who are nationals or under citizenship.

The application and approval process for this grant is almost the same as other programs of SASSA, just a little bit of difference in the document submission process in which you have to prove that the child is really one from the deserving quota of this financial support from the government.
