Avexeni, Minjani? Umfekile Minjane! (Hello, how are you? I am well!)
Thank you for all of your support throughout the year and beyond! You have made such a difference in the lives of the children and ladies we serve! I wish you could come and see for yourself and not just rely on my say so!
I think, and this is just me, that one of the gifts that you are providing through KTD196 is the gift of HOPE!
Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness that surrounds.
That is what you bring, that is what we bring. We can’t change circumstances overnight, but we are changing the lived circumstances for so many through the work we do.
The biggest gift that one can bring, a gift which energizes, is the gift of HOPE!
We are seeing chronically hopeless women and children start to take responsibility for their circumstances, start to see the possibilities, and start to see glimmers of hope through the projects we implement within the first 3months of engagement.
Imagine, for many years you have had to survive on one meal a day, a meal full of carbohydrates i.e. pap or bread with a bit of protein i.e. chickens feet, chickens heads, grasshoppers or morogo which is a weed you find in the field. Your kids go to bed hungry, you go to bed hungry and you start to believe this is your life! You don’t have the energy (calories) to do anything more than survive.
Dreaming of a different life for yourself and your children becomes impossible.
With the SHG program and the Children’s Program, that is precisely what we bring. HOPE, once we are able to move the individual over the experienced hopelessness then all things become possible. We are not pushing against despair and learned hopelessness/helplessness. Life becomes more about possibilities and choices.
You bring that, through your support! You provide opportunities and avenues for hope to rise….
It is such a powerful gift.
Please hear me, your donation is literally saving lives, and is changing destinies for thousands here and now but also for the future. We are working with over 5,000 women and children, you are changing their futures through your support of KTD196.
Bless you for assisting us to make such a huge difference.
Thank you
Louise
