Mama Gertie will do anything to feed her children.

This field’s their livelihood and their only HOPE

Have you ever heard people say that no smile’s as beautiful as the one that struggles through the tears?

In the rural town of Mahlabathini, on the east coast of South Africa, there are many beautiful smiles ...

... all hiding the pain of the devastating effects of poverty that’s a way of life there.

If you’re a friend, will you help?

In the blistering heat ‘Gogos’ (grandmothers, in the local language) tirelessly plough, dig and plant by hand in the spare land next to the church. There aren’t any taps so they carry water from the church in watering cans.

It doesn’t matter that the heavy Summer rains ruined their garden and weeds have grown so high they look like small trees!

Because for these proud grandmothers, these four overgrown hectares and a
handful of seeds is their only livelihood.

But you can help change all that by making a secure online donation.

It’s heart wrenching to see old women work so hard day after day with the odds stacked against them.

Will you make your online donation and help these Gogos use their God-given skills to lift them out of hopelessness?

This mud hut is home to Mama Rose and her adopted children.

Your gift will help to buy tools, seeds, compost and wheelbarrows.

And if enough friends reach out we’ll be able to repair the existing water tank and build a new borehole and even buy a tractor to till the soil and get rid of the weeds.

So please can we count on you to reach out to the Gogos of Mahlabathini today?
