Child welfare started at the informal settlement in Bredell where, together with Builders Warehouse, helped renovate and paint the community church. R5 000 was also donated to the créche and McDonald’s provided lunch for the children.
Child welfare also donated winter scarves and hats to the kids. Ekurhuleni Library also joined the initiative and read story books to the kids.
Officials from child welfare and the churches also spent the day with the senior citizens at the home in Tembisa.
Women on Knees donated blankets to keep the residents warm during winter and child welfare donated hats, scarves and winter slippers.
Child Welfare would like to thank all the stakeholders who were involved in making the lives of the less fortunate a little better during Mandela Month.
“Without them, we wouldn’t have been able to make these generous and much-needed donations. We would like to urge that the relations we have with the community and sponsors continue and that we can do more for the community,” Child Welfare Kempton Park director, Makha Thusi, said.
