Peermont Children’s Trust dishes out hampers
Learners from several schools around Kathorus became this year’s beneficiaries of the Peermont Children Trust (PCT) which handed out food parcels to help families through the festive season.
For over 10 years the Peermont Children’s Trust (PCT), one of the Peermont Global Corporate Social Investment (CSI) programmes, has been providing meals, supervised aftercare, new school uniforms and school holiday food parcels for less fortunate primary school children in the disadvantaged areas that fall in the Emperors Palace catchment area.
