Ending 2020 with displaced families at Bonaberi
December 2020: food packs, dancing and prayers with displaced families, made possible with B&T Logistics.
01
The challenge
Families who had fled the crisis in the North-West and South-West regions faced the festive season far from home, many with little to put on the table.
02
What we did
The Foundation reached out to displaced families at Bonaberi through B&T Logistics, which partnered with the Foundation so that more people could be served. The SIANI family also gave through the Foundation. Families received sacks of food at Gateway Bonaberi, which opened its doors for the day.
03
What changed
Families went home with food for the festive season, after an afternoon of smiles, dancing and prayers.

In their words
The smiles, dance and prayers bring us joy as we hope to do more.
What happens next
The Foundation returned to displaced families in February 2021 and continues this work through its Displaced Families programme.
