We are also a service provider entrusted with the responsibility of distributing food parcels to the poor and needy families in the whole North Rand Region (Pretoria and surrounding areas). Provision of food is complimented by skills training to key beneficiaries of each family that receives food assistance. This is an intervention programme whereas before, the poor opt for survival through crime, prostitution or any socially ill methods, positive intervention is administered. Under this scenario we have managed to reach out to 2087 families.

In summary, we have managed to fully empower formerly Homeless and Destitute Youths as well as administer social relief food distribution and skills training under our crime intervention programme.

It is our strongest belief that crime combating is a collective social responsibility, which we stand to say, if we succeeded to empower these beneficiaries with our limited resources and with added resources through other donors we should be able to reach out to more beneficiaries receiving our services. Prospectively, we will be encroaching towards a crime free South Africa.

In summary, below is the structure under which change is effected:
