The Waterberg Trust supports the amazing ‘Acts of Mercy’ project run by the Church of St John the Baptist at 24 Rivers that is active in Vaalwater and the township of Leseding in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. One goal is to provide immediate relief from hunger by distributing food parcels. Over 200 people benefited from these in 2024.

Many thanks go to local farmers who donated fruit and vegetables and to overseas donors. The Waterberg Trust has a Justgiving page that can channel funds in eight different currencies.

In addition to this:

250 PEOPLE RECEIVED DONATED CLOTHES

350 TEENAGE GIRLS RECEIVED FREE SANITARY PADS

MANY BENEFITED FROM A 15-WEEK ADDICTION RECOVERY TRAINING COURSE

Beneficiaries are selected by school nurse Sister Grace who conducts regular home visits.

Those supported include:

ORPHANS and teenage mothers

THE UNEMPLOYED

CHRONICALLY ILL PATIENTS

FOREIGN NATIONALS WITHOUT INCOME

THOSE NOT RECEIVING SOCIAL GRANTS

and NEEDY PEOPLE REFERRED BY THE POLICE such as victims of violence or fire.

Sister Grace writes, “ACTS OF MERCY HAS MADE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE LESEDING COMMUNITY, CHANGING LIVES FOR THE BETTER. A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE SPONSORS AND STAKEHOLDERS FOR YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT. I WILL CONTINUE TO SEEK OUT AND ASSIST THOSE IN NEED.”
