A weekend of joy as some Diepsloot families received aid from us & Capital Land

Always needed, Always there

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.

More help for people from Alexandra, Sophiatown, Newlands and Regents Park.

Monday 27 July 2020 we responded to a call from the Diepsloot local committee of the South African Red Cross Society JHB Branch. They informed us of the hardships that local residents are going through due to the economic meltdown caused by the outbreak of the Novel Corona virus early this year, Since the outbreak, many people have lost their jobs and those who did odd jobs, this meant no source of income. And our concern was helping mostly Child headed homesteads, OVC's, The Elderly and the unemployed.

We responded to the call and we managed to scrape through from our limited resources and we delivered food parcels relying on the list that we were given by Social Workers from the department of Social development. Once again we are always grateful for any donations. Together we can help more people during these trying times.
