The covid-19 pandemic has had more than just health implications, but economic ones as well worldwide. In Botswana the president declared a 28 days national lockdown (starting 2nd April) where many businesses were closed down and many livelihoods affected. A covid-19 relief fund has been set up by the government and the response has been tremendous. We as Stepping Stones International have also been doing our part, identifying families in need and facilitating donations to help them stay afloat.
In Ghanzi we responded to the call for help made by the District Council that families are hungry and they have not received enough food for the size of the families.
SSI contacted the Angels at Work, a group of generous do-gooders who want to help communities. They started as people wanting to build a second room for a family of 10 in a one bedroom house. The Angels donated a massive 120 food hampers to be distributed to families in a remote area of Botswana, CKGR. Each hamper included starch and vegetables.
We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to the Angels At Work for their amazing contributions and hope the spirit of the Angels spreads throughout the world! Because of them there are 120 less families going to sleep hungry. If you would like to help too, you can donate here.
