As the community awaits public testing for the virus, food-wise, she has absolutely nothing having depleted her supplies for the past four weeks of lockdown.
Cast is one of many registered NGOs operating across the country. They are providing help to South Africa’s most vulnerable communities during the lockdown. Cast’s Covid-19 food parcels include maize meal, beans, samp, soya mince, peanut butter, cooking oil, fortified porridge, flour, soap and face masks.
For example, Janet Okoye, Cast’s business development leader, has now initiated WhatsApp-based community business forums where information and training are shared regarding doing business during Covid-19 lockdown and beyond. For young children who have fallen behind academically, Cast will be doubling the impact of its basic literacy with primary schools. It will expand the resilience development work with at-risk youngsters to tackle depression and hopelessness and increase the number of psycho-social support groups for addicts and their families.
Thus as a further strategic shift, Cast is currently raising funds for the development of an online training and support platform which will allow training, tutoring and mentoring to be done both online as well as face to face.
