Voices from our community
After my husband passed away, the trust helped my children stay in school. My eldest just passed matric with an A grade.
The young volunteers who visit every week bring my medicines and sit with me. I no longer feel forgotten.
I used to work in a workshop all day. Now I come to evening school and I can read English books.
