With the downturn in the South African economy, non-profit organisations (NGOs) are finding it increasingly difficult to raise funds. Carryou Ministry is not immune to this.
“This has been a tough year,” said Reverend Lawrence Mabaso, Carryou Ministry’s General Manager. “Without the help of generous United States sponsors coordinated by our guardian angel, Sue Heywood, many children would have faced a bleak Christmas indeed.”
For many years Sue and her band of faithful supporters have improved the lives of a large number of people in Randfontein. They provided money to be used for food parcels, school fees and uniforms, educational apparatus, sports equipment, and cash for school-leavers to attend universities and other learning institutions.
As a result, a number of graduates have returned to their communities, where they now make valuable contributions.
In December the beneficiaries of the United States benefaction gathered at the Toekomsrus Drop-in Centre to make posters to thank Sue and her American sponsors.
“I am humbled by their ongoing kindness and generosity,” said Reverend Mabaso.
“Thank you! I trust you will all have a blessed 2018,” he added.
