As the Kwanobuhle Red Cross family nothing warms our hearts like giving back to the community at large, being there when we are needed as our motto says "ALWAYS NEEDED, ALWAYS THERE" we are indeed always there for our people.

This is just a snippet of what we actually do which is to help those in need, clothing is one of the rights we have as humans as it brings dignity and respect.

To our trusted followers we could not do this without, we are still in need of clothing donations for our people. If you have any clothing you no longer need but is still in good/wearable condition kindly let us know.

We need clothing ranging from infants, toddlers, young boys, young girls, teenagers, men and women. All of these clothes go towards a good cause such as our disaster management program and community outreach programs.

Thank you in advance, management and staff. 🫱🏿‍🫲🏻♥️

A BIG THANK YOU FROM THE SOUTH AFRICAN RED CROSS – UITENHAGE BRANCH! ❤️🤍

Today, we decided to harvest fresh vegetables from our community garden to sell over the weekend. Little did we know that our community would respond with such amazing support!

After seeing our poster, community leader and businessman Mr Luthando Mange stepped forward and bought all our freshly harvested vegetables straight from the ground!

Your support means more than words can express. You are not only buying vegetables; you are investing in our community garden, supporting our volunteers, strengthening our soup kitchen programme, and helping us build a sustainable community project.

Jwarha, kwande apho uthatha khona, Mntakwethu! 🙏❤️ May your hands never lack, and may your generosity return to you a hundredfold.

This is what Ubuntu looks like — a community supporting a community!

Together, we grow. Together, we serve. Together, we make a difference.

This week has been a roller-coaster of emotions every day we wake up to news of a woman being found dead either she was reported missing or she went on a normal jog not knowing that their lives are in danger.

We cry and moan with all the families that have lost their loved ones in the hands of perpetrators who lust in the cries of a woman.

We say enough is enough and we as the Kwanobuhle Red Cross Centre stand with those families as they seek justice.

Now at the Red Cross we have an awareness called BLACK THURSDAY whereby every Thursday we wear black in solidarity to those who have lost their lives through GBV and those who were lucky enough to survive.

We ask everyone following our socials to wear black tomorrow in support of this cause, take a picture and share it in the comment section and also share this post as many times as you can.

Together we can achieve more, standing together in the fight against GBV.

Today we were paid a visit by Sinako-We Can NPO Kelston Volkswagen Uitenhage and Community Chest of the Eastern Cape they came bearing gifts for our community members since they have seen some of the work that we have been doing for the community and they also wanted to lend a hand.

The day started off by introductions from us to them and a warm welcome from one of our most trusted elders in the community Mr Peter, one of our volunteers explained to the stakeholders what is it exactly that we do at the centre and where it all began.

Community members were gifted with warm blankets and you could see the excitement and joy in their faces. We also received clothing donations which we will put to use in our disaster management program and give them to people who need them most.

We are truly grateful to all the stakeholders that were present today and we send our deepest wishes to them, may they continue to flourish and may more doors open for them in the near future and lastly we hope to see and work with them soon.

From us the Kwanobuhle Red Cross family to you, God bless. 🙏🏻🫂

ALWAYS NEEDED, ALWAYS THERE. ♥️
