A small but useful hand-up

IkamvaYouth is using the rest of the funding it has received (almost R80 000!) from its friends and supporters for the displaced people in the Desmond Tutu hall to cover the costs of one month's rent for families who wish to be re-integrated into the community, but lack the financial means to cover rent.

So far, 11 families have moved back into their homes, and IkamvaYouth has paid the rent directly to the landlords. The TAC provided transport and food parcels.

This seems to be the only sustainable solution to this problem, and we hope to be able to help more families to return, re-integrate and re-build their lives.
