Donate: Buckets of hope for Christel House students

Help fill tummies and bring smiles to needy children this festive season by sponsoring Buckets of Hope.

Christel House SA, a non-profit school in Ottery, enrolls students from some of the poorest communities on the Cape Flats. Every December, the school provides its most destitute students with a food bucket consisting of non-perishable goods and a few extra treats to help them through the December school holiday.

One Bucket of Hope costs just R200 and we need 400 buckets before the school closes on 15 December.

CHRISTEL House South Africa, a non-profit and no-fee school in Ottery, Cape Town, enrols students from some of the poorest communities in the Cape Flats. The school has launched a fundraising drive for food buckets, which cost R200 each and consist of non-perishable goods and a few extra treats, to help students and their families through the December school holiday.

“With the extended six-week December holiday coming up and the devastating impact that Covid-19 has had this year, we are concerned for our most vulnerable families. We are asking the public to kindly help us raise R80 000 to allow us to distribute 400 Buckets of Hope to our neediest families before the holiday break on December 15,” said Francois Louw, director of fundraising and marketing.
