🚨 URGENT DISASTER APPEAL:
WESTERN CAPE AND EASTERN CAPE STORMS
Living Hope’s Community Response teams are already present on the ground—making a difference, bringing hope, and breaking despair in the communities that we serve, Masiphumelele, Capricorn, Vrygrond, Overcome, Redhill, and Oceanview, WC and in the Greater Buffalo City Area in the EC.
The Western Cape and Eastern Cape are currently facing severe Level 8 and 6 storm conditions, with torrential rain, gale-force winds, flooding, and potential mudslides. Thousands of residents have already experienced significant roof damage and flooding, leaving many families vulnerable and displaced. In addition, Living Hope’s Agricultural Training Programme has sustained major damage, with 120km/h wind gusts destroying tunnels.
Our teams are actively assessing and assisting affected communities, but with more rain and strong winds expected, the need is urgent and growing.
