Each year Gift of the Givers, a humanitarian organisation, steps in to provide much-needed school supplies to disadvantaged children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this year, around 400 to 500 Hillview children who were affected in a devastating fire that swept through their informal settlement during December last year, were the recipients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gift of the Givers spokesperson Ali Sablay explained that the school supply handover on Tuesday 23 January formed part of the organisation\u2019s back-to-school programme which supports disadvantaged school learners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring our visit to the Hillview community last month, we determined that the need for school supplies was one of the most vital needs that had to be prioritised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday we ensured that each and every affected learner received new school uniforms so that they do not feel left out when returning to school.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ward 45 councillor Mandy Marr says families lost everything when the fire swept through the informal settlement on Christmas Eve last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt has been really difficult for families who since the fire have either been housed in churches, NGOs or with friends. The fire destroyed everything, it was just ash. They are starting to rebuild after the national government gave them starter kits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayco member for Human Settlements Carl Pophaim collaborated with the Gift of the Givers to provide essential assistance to learners and their families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pophaim says access to disaster funding is paramount for emergency response efforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are working diligently with organisations like Gift of the Givers to ensure immediate relief reaches those who need it most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will continue to urge the national Minister of Human Settlements to consider decentralising disaster relief funding to clean, capable, and well-governed municipalities, ensuring residents affected by disasters can live in dignity and receive prompt and efficient assistance in emergencies.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that the joint initiative offers support to those directly impacted by recent tragedies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday\u2019s partnership with Gift of the Givers is a testament to our commitment to the well-being of our communities. In the face of adversity, we stand united to bring hope and support to those affected by the Hillview fire.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
