Help provide for needy kids

It takes bravery to stand out and initiate means to eliminate poverty, fight drug abuse and ensure children safety, especially if everything is done from your own pocket.

Reholegile Drop In Centre, a non profit organisation at Lenyenye Township, ensures that children around the township and neighbouring communities have something to do rather than engage in activities that will land them into hot waters with the law, which will destroy their future dreams.

The drop in centre visits these children in their homes to see the living conditions they come from. Initiated in May 2013, by Linah Letsoalo the project director, the drop in centre started with only 68 orphans

and vulnerable children and they have escalated to 144 to date. “With the number of children increasing in this manner it’s extremely difficult to take good care of these children with no funding” said Letsoalo.

Reholegile Drop In Centre aims to:

*Promote safety and healthy environment for vulnerable and orphaned children.

*Feed children with healthy and balanced diet.

*Take our children out of the streets and out of drugs.

*Help our children with their homeworks and laundry ensuring that they stay healthy and clean.

*Teach them other recreational activities such as traditional dancing, soccer, religion, drum majorettes, art work etc.

“We are appealing to the public to help us with donations; it can be funds or any valuable resources that we can use to look after these children. We will appreciate any kind of help that we get so that we sustain the running of the drop in centre” said Letsoalo.

Anyone who wishes to make a donation can call Reholegile Drop In Centre project manager Linah Lestoalo on 073 410 0295, drop in administrator Magareth Jacobson on 072 919 0149 or can deposit money into the
