Tackling Homelessness in South Africa

Hello Friends and Family,

Over the past 24 months we have seen more and more people on the streets and although it might be summer in South Africa the sun is just as bad as the cold, fighting over shade and local authorities moving people on so they are not in sight for tourism limits where people can stay on the streets. 

Our program funded by donations allows us to provide a number of services and it all starts with referral where we provide a free item of clothing (donated) or a hot meal at our homeless shelters, once the homeless people reach out to us we have a team of professionals that work to provide the support for anyone that is ready and willing. 

Homeless people must join our program and the first part is moving into our shelter and kick their additions from drugs and or alchol. Once clean they can then join our working program where they can work in one of 12 charity shops, local farms that we have purchased through donations to help provide food to our shelters, we also once shown commitment provide additional funding and training for people and today we have seen a homeless guy go from drug addict on the street to a fully qualified lawyer, we also have trained others in becoming a teacher, doctor and finance worker. Others go on to become a shop manager in our stores. 

With your donations we are funding the feeding program and more and we aim to riase $9,000 so we can provide additional meals to homeless people over this festive Thanksgiving and upcoming Christmas, Join Us on December 3rd when donations will be matched by GlobalGiving and we can provide even more suppot and food to people on the streets 

Thanjks,

Rich
