Hope rises from the ashes

Today we chatted with Nomzamo Landingwe from Hope Africa a social development organisation.
The first of winter’s vicious cold fronts have already swept up from south of the Cape, bringing icy weather, snow and rain and its people have been harshly affected.
Living in flimsy shacks made from scraps of metal sheeting, plastic and wood, there’s no escape from the biting cold and damp.
Very often there is no electricity in homes like these and relaying on paraffin stoves to cook and keep warm brings with it the very real threat of runaway fires.
Thankfully, Hope Africa is able to provide some poor communities with a cup of hot soup, blanket or help when disaster like fire or floods hit.
