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.

Discovery Life, saving lives

We appreiciate an effort by Ms Cathy Maguire from Dicovery Life , she collected items from her colligues and friends to help disaster victims. Her sole effort won't be forgotten by the receipients as it will help them in this time of need.

Nedbank does it again

The Nedbank Head Office did us proud by donating a truckful of clothes and food, for Xenophobia survivors. All this was a contribution from their staff, that are comitted to serving people with dignity. Their contribution will do wonders to the receipients.
We are proud of their work, it is within us to distribute the goods to the survivors with honour and pride.We thank Nedbank staff for their contribution, may they be blessed in every possible way.

Sharing warmth

The SA Red Cross Johannesburg in conjunction with the SA Red Cross Regional office(Germiston) Distributed blankets and clothing to the Homeless. Not only did our fellow people get blankets and clothing, they also had a nice warm cup of soup.We helped them escape the cruel cold front that swept through the country. It was more like Christmas in the middle of winter. The homeless around Johannesburg had a Saturday to remember so did our staff and volunteers. They also enjoyed helping out as usual. We are still bound to continue serving the community whole heartedly. A warm thank you to the staff and volunteers who made this effort a reality. Not only was the soup warm, the whole event was heart warming too.

The whole process was coordinated by Ms Bridgette Litchfield and her senior staff members. Mr Nathan Banda (SARCS)was there at the awarding of the certificates to successful candidates.
