Help for Alexandra Flood survivors





































Always needed, Always there



The residents of lower Alexandra found themselves trapped between crumbling shacks and a raging river. This happened in the still of the night. Over 30 shacks where washed away and over 100 where badly demaged. Residents lost their valuable belongings and food. The whole flood situation is badly contributing to the exisiting problem of deseases like cholera, their immidiate water supply has been badly demaged....

We as the SA Red Cross Johannesburg, came in with the much needed help, we have helped them with Food, blankets and clothing. All of our aid is made possible by our selfless donors. We appeal to all those who can help to join us in the fight against human suffering.

We help scholars in need











Always needed, Always there
As usual the SA Red Cross Society Johannesburg, was there for scholars at Cosmo City Junior Primary School. We helped them with Clothing donated by Jet Stores and Woolworths Johannesburg(CBD) and Food parcels that we bought in past few weeks. Our aim was to eradicate poverty within schools , so that scholars are never hungry in schools. As for the clothing, it's towards Christmas and Children must look smart just like others. Some of the scholars are from poor households and with this initiative we restore their confidence.
In general we thank all our donors and volunteers for this noble humanitarian effort
