In South Africa, the demand for sperm and egg donors continues to grow as many families and individuals look to start or expand their families through assisted reproductive treatment. Recognizing this need, the Aevitas Donation Agency has opened applications for sperm and egg donors, offering financial compensation ranging from R8 000 per sperm donation cycle and up to R60 000 for egg donation.
Who Qualifies to Be a Sperm Donor?
Sperm donation is open to healthy, non-smoking males between the ages of 19 and 37. Applicants must meet a minimum height requirement of 1.68m. These criteria are set to ensure that donated sperm meets both medical and genetic standards, giving recipient families the best possible chance of success. If you meet these requirements, you could play a vital role in helping others build families.
The Process of Sperm Donation
The donation process is simple and relatively quick. Donors are typically required to visit the clinic twice a week over a period of three to four weeks. Each visit involves producing a sample in a private and discreet room within the clinic. On average, a visit takes no more than 20 minutes, making the process convenient even for those with busy schedules.
The procedure involves several steps:
- Initial Screening – Applicants first answer four qualifying questions online.
- Application Form – If successful, they proceed to complete a detailed application form.
- Medical Testing – The agency arranges a free blood screen and sperm sample analysis at one of its centres in Pinelands, Stellenbosch, or Tygerberg.
- Donation Cycle – Once approved, donors commit to regular visits for three to four weeks.
- Final Screening – A compulsory blood test concludes the donation cycle.
- Compensation – Donors receive between R3 000 and R8 000 for their participation, depending on the cycle and results.
Egg Donation Opportunities
For women, egg donation offers even higher compensation. Egg donors may receive up to R60 000 for their contribution. The process is more intensive than sperm donation, involving medical screenings, hormone treatments, and minor medical procedures to retrieve eggs. However, it remains a safe and carefully supervised process carried out by qualified professionals.
Egg donation is open to healthy women who meet the medical and lifestyle requirements set out by the agency. The reward not only provides significant financial compensation but also gives donors the chance to help women and families struggling with infertility.
Why Donate?
Sperm and egg donation is not only financially rewarding but also emotionally fulfilling. Donors contribute to creating families for people who may not otherwise be able to conceive. This act of generosity can leave a lifelong impact on recipients, giving them hope and joy.

Interested donors can apply online through the Aevitas Donation Agency website. Applicants may also contact the agency directly at +27 21 531 6999 or via email at info@aevitas.co.za for further guidance.
