Residents of informal settlements receive aid

Langaville – Faith-based organisation Kasie Outreach visited the community of Langaville on February 13.
The visit was part of their monthly community outreach programme to informal settlements within Ekurhuleni.
They donated clothes, toys and shoes to those in need.
Nine youth members from the organisation facilitate the initiative, including its founder, Simphiwe Malunga.
“It is always amazing to reach out to our communities, especially during such desperate times.

“We want to thank the community for welcoming us with warm hands and our keen donors for their assistance because without them there’s no outreach,” he said.
To date, hundreds of the City of Ekurhuleni’s informal settlement residents have benefited from the project.
Member of the Kasie Outreach initiative Bonakele Mokgabudi said it is important for the youth to become active citizens.

“Charity begins at home and who better to be the driver than the youth?
“For me, charity work is of utmost importance with lots of values from which to learn.
“Giving back to people means I am taking action and being part of the solution.
