To #EndWorldHunger, our #Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 team reached out to communities in #Muzarabani, delivering 60 tons of food and hygiene supplies. A total of 902 families 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 who were extremely isolated benefited.The team was humbled to meet a new community that had traveled more than 30 kilometers in difficult conditions near the #Mozambique 🇲🇿 border just to participate in our programme.Due to the lack of a clear path, our trucks were unable to get closer to their homes, and collection can only be done on foot or by scotch cart. The terrain is extremely dry and barren, making it susceptible to extreme heat and flooding. In this community, goat breeding is the community's main source of income.#GiftoftheGivers #MakeADifference #ForTheGreaterGood #HungerAlleviation #Africa #SouthAfrica ... See MoreSee Less

"Everything she is taking home is what she doesn't have in her house right now," remarked a thankful mother from #Spieskamp📍.Another 100 WOOLWORTHS care kits 🛍 were delivered to Spieskamp Pre-Primary School. The SAPS team, who witnessed firsthand the hardship in these remote farming communities, identified these homes. Children go to school hungry because their parents are doing everything they can to care for them.Other parents work as seasonal agricultural workers, and in some homes where both parents worked, one had to resign owing to the pandemic's impact on the farming business.Gift of the Givers and #Woolworths has made a significant impact in these families lives, and their gratitude will be felt far and wide since these packets provide hope to many families who are struggling financially 💚.#GiftoftheGivers #MakeADifference #ForTheGreaterGood #HungerAlleviation #WooliesCares #EasternCape #SouthAfrica ...

Ten days before the #GeorgeFloods in the #GardenRoute📍, we assisted drought-ravaged #Oudtshoorn. The tourism industry in this community has suffered greatly since the #Level5 #NationalLockdown 🔐. Not only did the industry suffer, but many people's careers were cut short as a result of downsizing.Hotels and bed and breakfasts are still struggling owing to a lack of business. Every morning, their employees arrive at work, but there are just a few visitors. This also has a significant impact on their pay, which are exclusively determined by the number of people that come in and exit.Together with WOOLWORTHS, we gave 250 #Woolworths care packs 🛍️ to these workers, many of whom are the sole breadwinners in their homes. We were able to support eight hotels with this donation (Queens Hotel, Rosenhof Country House, Protea Hotel Riempie Estate, Yumkela Guest House, Hlangana Lodge, Cango Wildlife Range, Eldorado's Guest House, and Oudtshoorn Inn Hotel).Together we can #MakeADifference ✊, donate towards our Hunger Alleviation interventions and help support communities like these.
