SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Aiding the Children of Doornbacht

Doornbacht community is an informal settlement opposite DuNoon on Potsdam Road in Killarney Gardens. There are currently 10 000 people living here, the community was described by some as the poorest and most needy community North of Cape Town. Over 200 children are schooled in the 3 local crèches which is being housed in 20-foot containers. The teachers/daycare providers have been unable to provide these children with food and most of them arrive without a lunch pack. With winter on our doorstep, the 200 children have been reduced to only 30, mostly due to the cold and lack of warm meals available to them while their parents are at work.

We are making a difference to these children; we have supplied them with 3 prep tables; a boiling table and 50L pots to cook food in their new soup kitchen every day. For the next 3 months we are giving them all the vegetables they need to make enough soup daily and warm their bellies. We hope that with our contributions, we will see the 30 children increase back to 200 every day within the next month.

As a company we are committed to help the Doornbacht community any way we possibly can. It begun with their soup kitchen, followed by food donations from Moores & Rowland thanking them for their contributions. Yesterday, we received the wish list from the community leaders and we are asking you to make any contributions you possibly can.

Boxes will be available at our national offices where we will be collecting any of the following items for the adults and children - blankets; clothes; shoes; old mattresses would all be appreciated.
