WHERE RAINBOWS MEET Three million – that is how many people in South Africa have lost their jobs, with women accounting for two million of those during the nationwide lockdown so far, according to a new study conducted by 30 social science researchers from five South African universities. The research was released on Wednesday.
Where Rainbows Meet, is a Cape Town based community support organisation that has responded to the worsening COVID-19 food crisis.
The organisation’s Food4COVID19 programme provides help to over 10,000 people in the Western Cape, serving meals to over 2,500 people within the Vrygrond community
They provide resources to an additional 30 kitchens active in the Steenberg, Lavender Hill, Riemvasmaak, Overcome Heights, Hillview and other areas.
Mymoena Scholtz, Director of the organisation.
“People are hungry every day, people need meals and support every day and so we need long term, sustained support from our government and the broader Cape Town community to be able to provide for people every day. Our organisation brings hope to our communities, it is what drives us and why we get up every day. We are here on our own looking after our people and we desperately need help, we are in great danger” says Mymoena Scholtz, Director of Where Rainbows Meet.
How can you help?
We are grateful to the individuals and organisations who have supported the Where Rainbows Meet COVID-19 relief programme thus far. Their contribution has helped to feed many people in dire need. We know that people are fatigued in giving and donating to charities, but we are asking that if you have the means, please help us feed someone tomorrow. #Food4COVID19
