As we approach a colder season in Cape Town, our Soup Kitchen stands by to serve those in need.

Serving the hungry patients visiting the clinic in Scottsdene, a very poor community whose basic livelihood is being threatened due to loss of jobs and lack of food. The ladies serving are our true heroes. They live in conditions of extreme poverty yet still give selflessly of their time to cook and serve soup weekly at the community clinic for the sick and vulnerable as well as deliver soup to the homes of the elderly in the community.

Our Soup KItchen at the community clinic helps feed people living with HIV/AIDS & Tuberculosis, who need to take medication with food in their stomachs.

Life in the poor communities of Cape Town is not easy. Many households are deeply affected by HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and persistent unemployment.

Our Nutrition Programme at the clinic alone, feeds over 2000 mouths every month.

HELP US DO MORE.

The children were super excited to receive these knitted items from Annette in Denmark. Hand delivered to us by her brother Hans Svensson. A suitcase full of handmade jerseys, scarves and caps. Thank you Annette for your labour of LOVE and helping us keep the little ones warm for our upcoming winter. You took our breath away with all the uniquely made pieces! We appreciate you so much and know that so much time have gone into this!!! Bless the hands that made it 💙

To Hans, thank you for always having the kids best interest at heart 💙💙💙

This week we delivered a donation of clothes and toys. Visiting the kindergarten is always heartwarming. There is something about being in the presence of children. So much care and emotion shared when we connect. It is so important for the children to see us, and visa versa. They need us as much as we need them.

It is only February and there are already so many children. Much more than previous years during February. Families have no income. with so many still looking for work since the pandemic. The kindergarten provides a safe place while they go out to try to find work and they know the children get nutritious meals to keep them healthy. It is because of your donations we can do the work and give hope. Thank you!

STAY SAFE EVERYBODY.

New seedlings for a healthy new year for the children at the kindergarten. This garden feeds up to 80 children per day. Children need the right fuel for growing, learning and developing.

We have big dreams this year to expand growth within our garden programme. Watch this space :)

Thank you to our donor who help us make this happen!!!
