The Covid 19-related lockdown since March last year has been really hard on many people on so many levels. The fourth quarter of 2020 saw an increase of unemployment to 42,6% (11,1 mil people), while by the 2nd quarter of 2021 the unemployment rate showed an increase to 44,4% (14,9mil people). The stark reality of this is hunger and starvation in many houses; people and children who go to school and bed hungry and whose health is negatively impacted due to lack of nutrition.
We have witnessed this first-hand, but a great thing we have also seen is many individuals, groups and organizations who have jumped in to selflessly help people in need!
Although it is just a drop in the bucket, GAiN SA has delivered over 17 tons of food and aid since last year.
A special thank you to every person, group and organization who have contributed and made the food distribution possible! Because of your giving you have helped to bring hope to many!
