We had hoped to hold our annual braai/garden party but due to Covid-19 uncertainties and logistical issues we have decided to postpone it until summer 2022. The garden party is our main event of the year, enabling us to meet some of you and to raise money for a project. We are sad that we won’t be able to get together this year. Please consider sending a donation so that we can continue to support our projects in South Africa at this time of ongoing great need.
Donations can be made via the Donate button or by cheque to The Thembisa Trust, 34 Trinity Road, Oxford OX38LQ. We are so grateful for your ongoing support.
Thembisa is making a special appeal to help African Enterprise (AE) get food to people in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, who through no fault of their own are facing starvation. The looting and violence that occurred from 9-17 July in the wake of Jacob Zuma’s imprisonment has had shocking consequences. In KwaZulu-Natal alone, 100 shopping malls were destroyed by fire, damage of R20 billion occurred, and 150,000 jobs are at risk.
Please donate what you can today, using any of the Donate buttons on our website.
100% of your donation will go directly to African Enterprise.
Money Raised in August 2021 £872
Emergency food parcels are urgently needed for the hundreds of poverty-stricken families already suffering due to the economic fallout from Covid, and now have no prospects of getting food due to the looting and loss of income. AE has already swung into action distributing emergency food parcels, but they need our support.
Please donate what you can today, using any of the Donate buttons on our website. 100% of your donation will go directly to African Enterprise.
