Floods and fires wreak havoc in South Africa   

Gift of the Givers continues to provide vital relief to communities affected by natural disasters like fires and floods.

During the past months, our teams have been on the ground in various parts of South Africa, assisting with food and water, hygiene packs as well as blankets and mattresses.

Our interventions include:

  1. Fire season has been wreaking havoc across many informal settlements in the Western Cape, destroying multiple homes and leaving residents destitute. Gift of the Givers teams have been on the scene assisting communities with relief aid and helping them to pick up the pieces.
  2. In KwaZulu-Natal, more than 100 residents were affected when a fire ripped through an informal settlement in Clare Estate, Durban. Food hampers were distributed to the residents.
  3. Utrecht (KZN) was hit by torrential rains which caused devastating floods to the area. 60 households were affected and these families received mattresses, blankets, hygiene kits as well as food parcels.
  4. Heavy rain caused flooding in Mafikeng and surrounding villages in the North West province. Severe damage was caused to more than 70 households as well as the local De La Rey Hospital. Gift of the Givers responded with essential relief aid.
  5. Gift of the Givers responded swiftly when called upon to help after a severe storm flattened 100 homes in Cofimvaba, Eastern Cape. Our teams delivered much-needed support to the community, consisting mostly of elders that had all their belongings destroyed and small-scale farmers lost many cattle due to the storms.
