CAN project - Ikageng and Illovo

Illovo CAN Ikageng (together with a small group in Glenhazel and Westcliff) with the assistance of Selpal in aiding with the distribution of food and hygiene goods - are making a huge difference to the lives of the community in Soweto supported by Ikageng. Our CAN started around 20th April and to date have provided around 15 000 meals.

Ikageng are an NPO who provide ongoing support to children in Soweto who have been orphaned or are affected by Aids or living with HIV.

Together we ca help Ikageng to continue to provide food, education, health and other social support during this difficult time.

Together we hope to be "that village that raises a child"

Thank you for introducing this wonderful initiative and may it continue into the future
