With looming uncertainty hopelessness in many communities due to the impact of COVID-19 and also ravaging rains, confusion, sorrow become the order of the day. With the weather changes, this means many people can not even afford to go out and look for part time jobs. Hunger and lack of basic necessities are what many families are facing. We as the SA Red Cross Society Johannesburg Branch have been doing our best to help those in need. We have been working with various stakeholders including local community structures in order to identify families who need urgent help. This past weekend we managed to help just over 60 households in Diepsloot with much need food parcels. Some of the recipients are child headed homesteads. Our capability to help is mostly influenced by the support of our generous donors. We do welcome all donations and note that by giving, you are investing in communities and the future generations.
