Members of the Rose Seventh Day Adventist Church, in Primrose, recently launched a community services project in the Makause informal settlement.<\/p>\n

The church will initially be running the project in the settlement every second Sunday, from 9am, until all their supplies have been distributed.<\/p>

“The project is modelled on moral regeneration — that is we share the ‘Bread of Life’, bible lessons, clothing and food,” said Francis Mthembu, communications secretary for the church.<\/p>\n

“This is open to everyone in need of help and does not look at religious affiliation, ethnicity or gender.”<\/p>

<\/div>\n

On the first day of the project they assisted a total of 76 people — 58 adults and 18 children.<\/p>\n

For more information, visit the church at the corner of Rietfontein Road and Ash Street, on a Saturday, or call Mthembu on 078 973 0270.<\/p>\n
