VICTORY ANNOUNCEMENT: R19 496 RAISED!
.
We set an ambitious goal of R16 000 and because of your incredible solidarity, we finished by raising an astonishing R19 496!
The Ultimate Budget Upgrade:
Our initial R16 000 target was allocated as R10 000 for construction material and labour, with the remaining R6 000 intended for securing the food parcels.
However, mid-campaign, observing the trajectory of your giving, we took a leap of faith and added a vital cement slab to ensure the structure's ultimate stability and longevity.
This single addition pushed our construction expenses up by an extra R7 250, making our total construction cost R17 250.
This entire project is the absolute epitome of Proverbs 16:3: "Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established." We committed our plan, and through your hands, God established the thought into a physical reality.
To every single person who contributed:
Whether you donated the foundational R25, sustained us with R500 and R1 000, or were a major sponsor at R2 000 and R2 500—this victory belongs to you. We are overwhelmingly glad that our main priority, the permanent shade structure, is fulfilled.
A Final Request for the Handover:
While the total construction cost of R17 250 took a large chunk out of our budget, affecting the number of food parcels we are now able to secure with the remaining funds, we welcome any last-minute non-perishable food items as we prepare for the handover.
Your collective effort built this structure. Thank you for building this legacy with us!
