Communities across the Western Cape have been left devastated by severe flooding, with many families losing homes, food, clothing and essential belongings. Mustadafin Foundation has been on the ground to provide urgent relief and appealing for public support to assist those affected.
Donations of blankets, warm clothing, fresh produce, vegetables, non-perishable food, baby items, hygiene packs and financial contributions are urgently needed, says the foundation.
As severe flooding continues to impact communities across the Western Cape, the Mustadafin Foundation has launched an urgent appeal for public support to assist affected families.
Heavy rains and flooding have left many households displaced, with families losing essential belongings, including beds, clothing, food and household items. Children and elderly residents are among the most vulnerable as cold winter conditions continue.
Mustadafin teams are currently on the ground aiming to support communities in need, but the scale of the devastation requires urgent additional assistance.
The organisation is appealing for donations of:
- blankets and warm clothing
- non-perishable food items
- fresh produce, specifically vegetables
- baby products and hygiene packs, and
- financial contributions to assist with relief efforts.
"All across the Western Cape, families are facing unimaginable hardship after these floods. Many people have lost almost everything overnight," says Ghairunisa Johnstone-Cassiem, director of Mustadafin Foundation.
"During times like these, compassion and community support matter more than ever. Every blanket, every food parcel, every donation, no matter how small, can help restore dignity, warmth and hope to a family in crisis. We are calling on communities, businesses and individuals to stand together and support those who need us most."
Donations can be dropped off at Mustadafin Foundation, or supporters can contact the organisation directly via WhatsApp or telephone on 021 633 0010 for more information on how to assist.
