Every week, the Ujamaa team goes to one of our community camps to provide food, clothes and hygienic produce distribution.
Each visit reminds us how important it is to be there for them. Many people are suffering, and when we take the time to look beyond appearances, we feel deep sadness and heavy hearts. But behind all of this, there is also strong determination and hope. In the heart of every Ujamaa member, there is incredible strength and courage.
Our duty is to support our community, which is facing the violence of the streets alone. To continue this work, we need stronger financial and human support.
We are asking for your help, whether financial, logistical, or any other kind of support you can offer. If you have clothes, non-perishable food, or other useful items, please do not hesitate to contact us.

During a training day with Professor Brian William, we saw real hope for our communities. We witnessed the creation of a strong discussion group, united and determined to change things in their neighborhood.
The solidarity among our Ujamaa community members truly warmed our hearts. In very difficult conditions, we saw unity and strength grow among people who often find themselves alone in the face of street violence. We are very happy to have seen the birth of a discussion group that is not going to stop. These residents want to build a place of peace for their children.
We met a woman who shared her story with deep emotion. She spoke to us about her constant fear.
Every night, for several years now, she sleeps on the ground, afraid that gunshots might hit her home. This fear has become a routine, a daily reality that shapes every choice she makes and every night she lives through.
Her testimony reminds us of the silent violence that some people live with. A violence that does not always make noise, but that destroys the lives of many people in our community.

Ujamaa is more than an association. It is a family.
Our mission is to support communities in their daily lives by offering a smile, a look, and a presence they can hold on to so they do not feel alone. They are our brothers and sisters. People with stories, struggles, and dreams, who deserve to be heard.
In the streets, in the camps, facing the cold, the rain, and uncertainty, we move forward together. Because no one should have to face the harshness of life alone.
Ujamaa is a helping hand, a listening ear, and a deep belief that together, things can change.

A few weeks ago, we went out to meet our community . What we saw there deeply affected us. Even with the rain, wind, and cold, many people do not have warm clothes. They are trying to survive in very difficult conditions without proper protection from the weather.
Recently, strong storms have hit Cape Town, and they have shown us how much our brothers and sisters need help. The first people affected are our Ujamaa community. Children and whole families are facing this situation alone. When the storms come, there is no door to close, no solid roof, no heating to fight the cold. Only fear, uncertainty, and long nights that are hard to get through.
Our community needs us, and needs you. We cannot leave them alone during this time. More than ever, we need to stand together.
Every donation makes a real difference: a blanket, a hot meal, a warm jacket. Small things that can bring comfort and hope in a very hard moment.

Yesterday, we went back to Kensington, to the refugee camp.
It had been several weeks since we were able to go, so seeing our Ujamaa again felt really special.

We brought food, coffee, clothes, dishes… but most importantly, we came to spend time with them.

We played with the children, shared laughs, and spent time talking with some of them over a coffee. We also talked about the future, their dreams, their plans, and what they hope to become despite the difficulties they are facing today.

Thank you to everyone who supports us and makes it possible for us to keep going.

A huge thank you to the student from for becoming such a great support to us this week.

Thanks for your time, your energy, and your generosity, we were able to prepare meals and support people in need within the community. Every sandwich prepared, every smile, and every act of solidarity truly means so much.

Your commitment reminds us that kindness and compassion can truly make a difference, especially as winter approaches.

Thank you for walking alongside us to bring warmth and hope to those who need it most.

This week, we went to CPUT to distribute food and supplies to our Ujamaas.

It was a moment filled with sharing and joy, despite the difficulties some had in remaining patient. Sometimes, we tend to forget that our Ujamaas who live out on the streets have to do everything they can in order to survive. So, some may lose their patience, but they mean no harm, and they understand our mission.

This distribution was once again, as always, a meaningful time of sharing, where attention and understanding are at the heart of what we do. We would like to thank our new volunteer who came to help us on his day off. The strength and time he gave us were an immense gesture of support for us.

Thank you very much 🤍

A new immersion in the Kesington neighborhood, meeting residents as part of a training program.

Once again, a powerful experience, driven by sharing, listening, and a great deal of hope. These moments remind us of the value of exchange and the richness of human connections.

Many thanks again to Professor Brian William for his invitation and kindness throughout our discussions 🤍
