Help for Kliptown flood victims
It’s the middle of the night, and you’re woken up by the sound of a loud bang and water gushing through your home. In your sleepy state, you run to check that your children are safe. As you manage to get your family to safety, you watch helplessly as the personal belongings that you worked so hard for are washed away. This was the harsh reality of many residents in Kliptown, Soweto, recently.

The Union of Jewish Women was able to help by supplying a large quantity of clothing and toys. For many, it was a ray of hope in rebuilding their homes.
