Aid for 3 Diepsloot families.

Always needed, Always there

August became the worst month for 3 families in Diepsloot as their shacks were razed to the ground by fierce flames of fury. The cause of the fire remains unknown and the authorities are still working on it. Our local committee members were alerted of the disaster and they heeded the call to offer help. We managed to salvage whatever we had in our emergency storage to help the affected.
