Baking for Bersig

By Hollie Bradley | Monitoring and Evaluation Consultant

We would like to express our gratitude for your contributions towards Elize, a community worker for Bergsig Ondeursteunings Groep (BOG) in Bersig, Western Cape.

Elize indicated that their community has an extremely high unemployment rate due to a local mine closing. She also described several other social ills plaguing the community including poverty with a large number relying on social grants, substance abuse manifesting even in school children being expelled from school, and HIV infections.

Elize describes the organisations main aim as helping people by offering a basket of services including services to orphans and vulnerable children and those living with HIV and AIDS.

BOG’s services include support groups, counselling services, food parcels, palliative care and ARV medication support and they are currently operating in seven towns in the area.

Elize and her organization received a Mama Mimi oven and was able to utilize the donation received through GlobalGiving to buy the ingredients needed to bake goods in order to raise funds for the organization. The donations were used to purchase ingredients to make pizzas, sausage rolls and bread which is then sold to the community as a fundraising activity. Elize indicated that this has been a huge highlight for them as an organization and enables them to be more in control of their finances, especially if other funding is late for example. The funds raised help them to continue to deliver their services to the community and potentially expand if there is a need arising from beneficiaries.

Thank you for your support which enables these much needed services to continue in our communities.
