As usuall the SA Red Cross Johannesburg is still helping the needy. We helped women who are striving to live in the city. The SARCS Johannesburg has given to these people most of the times. Not only are we caring for Xenophobia victims, we also care for the poor and other disaster survivors.

Blaze survivors thank Discovery Life

Ms Cathy Maguire from Discovery Life should be happy to see that her donation has made a difference. We passed on the goods to the Local SA Red Cross Commitee in Diepsloot. It was part of our relief plan to help the victims of burnt down shacks during the weekend. Not only are we happy but the receipients were overjoyed.

Nedbank helps Diepsloot survivors

In Diepsloot, a quiet night turned into a busy noisy night as two shacks were reduced down to ashes. One of the shacks was completely burnt down to ashes and everything inside was gone within minutes. A family was left homeless and without anything to wear or to eat. We at the SA Red Cross Johannesburg decided to lend a helping hand. We managed to pass the groceries and clothing we had received from the Nedbank head office in Sandton to the local Red Cross Volunteers, for the survivors. It is efforts from staff members. Mr Zyhaan Valoo of Nedbank has been of great assistance to us and the community, his efforts won't be forgotten.

SA Red Cross Johannesburg to the rescue

Even unemplopyed people have access to help. The SA Red Cross Johannesburg has been helping the homeless and the poor in and around Johannesburg. Mr Leon Van Rooyen is one of the lucky people as he is seen here recieving groceries from Mr Norman Gumbi of the SA Red Cross Johannesburg. We at the SA Red Cross, see no boundries when it comes to helping improve lives. We are always prepared to help in times of need.

Aid for Humansdorp

The area of Humansdorp in the Eastern Cape has been poverty striken for a long time, and the situation has worsened due to the AIDS epidemic. The local Storehouse Generation Ministries Church approached the SA Red Cross Johannesburg to assist different families by giving them clothing and food as we can see in the picture. Pastor Dallas Sphar sent church members Ashwell and Nicolette Goliath to collect the donations from the SA Red Cross Johannesburg. We are proud to have been of assistance.
