In light of the COVID-19 pandemic's rapid escalation, Christel House South Africa identified 166 of the school's most at-risk families while they are braving the lockdown during the weeks to come. With the help of generous donors, we have been able to provide a small stipend for food and other essentials to these families. However, as the lockdown continues, more and more families are reaching their breaking point. and requesting our help.

Help us to support an additional 134 families who are in critical need right now. With your donations, we are hoping to provide a total of 300 needy families with a small stipend until September 2020, as we realise that the devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic will be felt long after the lockdown is lifted. Families will use the stipend to purchase basic food supplies for their household and to assist their children to continue to learn during this crisis.
