Rays of Hope reaches over and above

The foundation would like to encourage the community to continue contributing as every little bit can make a difference.

The Rays of Hope Foundation has proudly surpassed its goal of feeding over 30 000 families through its #Hope4Alex initiative.

The initiative initially set out to feed 1 000 families in the area of Alexandra.

CEO Sihle Mooi announced that the foundation has successfully fed 30 054 families to date (30 April). “We thought that [1 000] would be the most we could do given the new restrictions. Little did we know that South Africans had a different plan and a big heart,” Mooi said.
