I AM BECAUSE WE ARE - MOTIVATION FOR YOUR MONDAY

 

“I am because we are.” — Ubuntu

A new week starts. For many families in our communities, Monday means figuring out where the next meal comes from. But nobody figures it out alone. Someone lends a hand with the school run. A neighbour shares what's left in the pot. A volunteer wakes up before sunrise to help pack lunches. This is Ubuntu in action — not a slogan, a daily practice. Whatever this week brings, we move through it together.

Tag someone who shows up for your community, rain or shine.

Township Stories & Realities - Impact & Transparency

 

1,860 plates. That's how many hot meals our five partner kitchens served last week.💙

Behind that number: a grandmother who no longer has to split one plate between herself and two grandchildren.

 A group of Grade 7 boys who stopped falling asleep in their first class of the day. 💚

 Our finance team closed out July's books this week too — in the interest of full transparency, 91% of every rand donated went directly to food, delivery fuel, and kitchen supplies. 

The remaining 9% covered the admin and logistics that keep the operation running. 

 None of this happens without the five community kitchen leaders who show up at 5am, seven days a week, rain or heat. 

They are the ones doing this work. 💖

We're simply the bridge between their kitchens and the people who want to help.

Township Stories & Realities - A School Uniform

 

A school uniform, ironed and ready by 5am — even when the electricity had been off since midnight. That's Thandiwe's morning, every morning.

She walks her three children to the local primary school before doubling back to queue at the community tap with a 25-litre container. Water access in her section of the township is still unreliable, and load shedding makes the mornings harder than they should be. But she doesn't dwell on what's missing — she talks about what's working. The stokvel she runs with four other mothers on her street means that when one family's cupboard is bare, someone else's usually isn't.  That's the township reality: hardship and hustle exist side by side, and neither one cancels out the other.

Our outreach team is mapping which streets need water tank support this month. If you'd like to help fund a tank for a street like Thandiwe's, donate here https://www.clrfoundation.com/donate-1
