Christmas is a time of joy, abundance, and family gatherings, but for countless families in poor communities, nothing really changes for them.
The promised government support often fails to materialise or is simply insufficient to meet the crushing needs of the season, turning what should be a time of hope into a period of profound anxiety and despair for parents struggling to provide the most basic necessities.

Yet, amidst this hardship, the spirit of community and compassion shines through. Organisations like Hope SA are stepping into the breach, refusing to let these families be forgotten.

This Christmas, Hope SA has initiated a critical series of Christmas drives, mobilising volunteers and resources to deliver essential food parcels, toys, and much-needed support directly to the doorsteps of those most in need.

Their tireless efforts are a vital lifeline, providing not just physical sustenance, but a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, the true meaning of the holiday generosity and care for one's neighbour remains a powerful force for good.

More on this, we are joined by Namritha Sivsanker, CEO of Hope SA Foundation
