As South Africa faces rising Covid 19 infections, the country has gone into lock down for 3 weeks in an effort to control its spread. Our beneficiaries are amongst the most vulnerable and will be made even more vulnerable in the face of Covid 19. We need support to maintain our delivery of essential services: healthcare, especially for those with compromised immune systems (HIV and TB); food parcels and meals; as well as Covid 19 prevention measures (soap, sanitiser, access to water, protective gear for healthcare workers) and information.
