Kagiso Media Hunger Relief Fund: Eleos
Kagiso Media, owners of Jacaranda FM and East Coast Radio, have put together the KM Hunger Relief Fund to assist communities in need during the drawn-out Covid-19 lockdown in South Africa.
Background: Kagiso Media, has put together the KM Hunger Relief Fund to assist communities in need during the drawn-out Covid-19 lockdown in South Africa.
Over the next two weeks, Jacaranda FM will give a platform to four organizations per day, who actively work within afflicted communities to feed the thousands of families who currently cannot earn a living. We want to know who these community Angels are and how our listener community can assist them. Jacaranda FM will also equally distribute R500 000,00 from the Kagiso Media Hunger Relief Fund to these organizations in the form of AngelRands.
We will publish the details of each organization on jacarandafm.com so you can contact them and donate directly to assist the essential work they do.
Organisation: Eleos
Contribution: R12 000 in AngelRands.
Eleos, which means “Mercy in Action” was established in 1998 to assists poor families in Daspoort and Danville in Pretoria-West. During the lockdown in South Africa, they have not been able to do their regular children or adult upliftment and skills programmes, but they are still feeding at least 200 families. Many poor families are under extra financial pressure as they cannot supplement their SASSA grants with odd jobs. Children are also not going to school or nurseries, where they usually benefit from the feeding schemes.
