The Caring Sisters Network (CSN) rose to the occasion once again by supplying back-to-school items for the vulnerable.

Recipients of back-to-school items

Yasiera Mahomed-Suliman, CSN chair said that the pleas for assistance changed dynamics in January from food hampers to basic school needs. “Covid-19 financial challenges are worsening and many families were experiencing the stress of back-2-school basics.  CSN identified with these needs before schools opened and 250 children were selected to receive a CSN school hamper,” said Suliman

She said that the hamper consisted of a primary school bag, a sanitiser, face masks, a face towel, a lunch box, a juice bottle, and a school uniform voucher to the value of R600. “Vouchers distributed were from different outlets depending on which school was being attended. Distributions were done in Richmond, Folweni, Malagazi, Lindelani and Burnwood settlement. We try to make our small differences whenever and wherever we can. We take pride and joy in assisting those who are most in need . We are extremely  grateful to our donors and sponsors without whom none of our campaigns will be possible,” Suliman said.
