Food preparation
Mr and Mrs Duncan of Rocklands in Mitchell’s Plain are heroes in their local community! Every Thursday the Duncan Feeding Scheme prepare a wholesome meal for up to 400 people in their community. Mrs Duncan is a teacher at the local high school and she has a big heart for her learners and her community. We have previously reported how she assisted in providing shoes for young people under her care.
HOPE Africa partnered with the Duncan feeding scheme to provide meals to the 400 people. It was a joy to be part of this amazing work. We thank all our donors for helping us to lend a hand to the feeding scheme.
As HOPE Africa we trust that we can rely on your continued support to keep soup kitchens such as the Duncan Feeding Scheme running as entire communities across Southern Africa rely on angels such as these to provide in their daily need.
God bless!

Three-hundred homes were gutted in a devastating fire that ripped through the Joe Slovo informal settlement in Langa, Cape Town, on 16 April 2022, leaving about 1 200 people displaced. There was a huge need to assist residents with essentials to keep warm, eat and rebuild.
HOPE Africa in partnership with the Makgoba Development Trust and Motsepe foundation set up a relief package to provide some of the much-needed supplies. Blankets, two-plate gas stoves, gas cylinders and toiletries were bought and donated to residents identified as most vulnerable. The handover event was graced by Archbishop Thabo Makgoba as he celebrated the 32nd anniversary of his ordination on Pentecost Sunday, he broke away from his sabbatical leave to oversee the handover. A lot of effort was put into organizing and setting up the supplies for the handover. HOPE Africa staff were part of the manual labour involved in heavy lifting of the supplies.
Without your contributions, HOPE Africa would not have been able to be part of this relief effort. Residents were very grateful and even smiled for the first time in a very long time. We appreciate your continued support and hope that you will be blessed with more.

Residents of Sgubudwini, Mthatha in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa were engulfed by a huge storm towards the end of 2021. A total of 84 families were left destitute and required assistance with food and other supplies.
Through a partnership with the local leadership, HOPE Africa was able to provide relief to the families in the form of food parcels. The food parcels contained nutritional essentials for the families which did not have any food at the time. 44 food parcels were organized and distributed in the headman's place in the presence of Vicar General with members of the Chapter.
It was a heart moving event where the beneficiaries acknowledged in public that this assistance came at a time where they had nowhere to turn to. "As a single mother I will be putting a smile on the face of my children as they will go to school with something in their stomachs, that will make them perform better in school" said one of the beneficiaries.
