The Bluff community in Durban has shown its true colours through a selfless act of generosity to provide much-needed sustenance for vulnerable young lives.
Durban, South Africa (14 August 2024) – The Bluff community in Durban, like many other urban areas, faces its share of socio-economic challenges. Yet, amidst these difficulties, the Bluff’s spirit shines through.
Its people, bound by a strong sense of community, exemplify resilience and selflessness. This unwavering determination to uplift one another is the foundation upon which the community continues to thrive.
Heeding the call for food donations for Isiah 54 Sanctuary was Bluff Assist, an NPC and division of the Brighton Beach SAPS Victim Friendly Centre.
Isaiah 54 Children’s Sanctuary is a crisis home for abused, abandoned and HIV/AIDS-infected children, offering them a temporary place to call home.
Bluff Assist was able to collect many loaves of bread, polony, peanut butter, margarine and jam, which would go a long way in providing meals for the children at the temporary safe home.
“The Bluff Assist helps vulnerable people within the community and works closely with like-minded organisations. We work closely with Isiah 54 Sanctuary who are well known in the community. When they are in need we always jump to help.
“These children are all in need and need to be shown love and compassion while they go through the child welfare process. Going from place to place to collect food supplies was hard work but arriving there and seeing the kids’ faces, was an amazing reward,” shared Bluff Assist’s Chantal Bransgrove-Bower who has also got her son to give back to the community.
The organisation’s selfless efforts are a testament to the power of community and the impact of selfless acts of kindness.
“Thank you to each person who assisted by donating items, dropping off and spreading the word. We cannot do these things without you. For the community, by the community,” Chantal added.
