Project Report | Mar 30, 2020
COVID-19 has struck

By Ndileka Xameni | Founder and Director

Dear freinds -

we are no on lockdown as of 2 days ago to slow the spread of this virus.  You cannot imagine how hard it is to take care of our vulnerable population, most of whom live in shantys, cardboard and tin shacks with no running water or toilets - how do we follow the guidelines?  99% of our population live 2-10 people in one room - how do we follow social distancing rules?  As in India, as in the slums of Nairobi and Rio and the refuge camps all over the world - we have no idea what will happen to our clients and friends and family when the surge of this scurge arrives in full force.

Meanwhile, we are doing our best to make and get meals out to those who have no food and are not allowed to come to us.  We are doing our best within our household, with currently 9 orphans, to keep hygiene standards adequate.  Our volunteers must stay home for now.  We are on the front line.  We cannot stay home.  We pray.

Thank you for your support in the difficult days ahead.  We will report what we have been able to do, 3 months from now - may this virus be gone by then.

We ask all sponsors to stay safe and know how grateful we are to each and every one of you.
