Sticks in a Bundle: Strength in Collaboration

Step Stool Where Needed was the title of our last report.  About four of our KCV alumni, some complelety on their own but not doing that well. are in need of intervention and ongoing support, 

So, to trial a whole new idea of offering a step stool where needed, Ubunetu Partners Trust entered into a collaborative relationship with iNSPIRED HOPE  a local NGO supporting the most poor families in the location near Winterton..  They support with assessment, accountability and food parcels. garden knowledge and seedlings, skills training, counseling for dismotivated families or individuals.....and lots of pastoral prayer and wisdom..

In reaching the end of the accountability support UPEF is able to give our most needy family, even with excellent mentoring and love relationship, we are grateful for Inspired Hope's inception and vision, for their willinness to reach out over the 55 kilometer distance to Loskop, expanding their radiius of impact,.

 Ubuntu Education  provides funds for their professional work with the struggling  family Khumalo, and especially 19 year old Kwanele Khumalo. Also,we are  pleased to introduce Inspired Hope into Loskop where there are many loyal community allies wanting to help in any way they can.. 

We know sticks bundled together are stronger than individual sticks working alone. Some family or individual situations are so dire that it takes a bundle to make a difference.

In this way, we are hopeful that this Stepping Stool we've found will  provide a future for Kwanele and his family.  It will be over many months, a long haul, but we'll go that distance together. with the vision for Families to Thrive At Home.

Thank you Inspired Hope!
