Be the Change

Every Bucket Has a Story

“This bucket didn’t just feed us – it reminded us we are not forgotten.”

Where the Story Started

Last year, we reached out to you to help families in Lusikisiki who faced the daunting reality of Christmas without their children’s daily school meals. Your incredible generosity raised R2 million, enabling us to deliver food parcels so impactful that families were sustained well into February.

Chapter Two

In July 2024, during Mandela Month, you stepped up again. Through your donations and volunteer efforts, we packed and distributed buckets filled with nutritious, non-perishable items, sustaining 2,879 families in need. Together, we delivered buckets valued at R1,439,500, proving the power of collective action and compassion.

Why We Need Your Help Now

This Christmas, we’re asking for your help to bring comfort and nourishment to children with cancer. In partnership with Daily Maverick, our mission is to provide these children, discharged from hospitals, with the vital nutrition they need to continue their fight at home.

Your support can make this season one of hope, strength, and healing for families facing unimaginable challenges.

What’s in the Bucket?

Each bucket is packed with purpose:

  • Nutrition: A thoughtful mix of carbohydrates, proteins, nutrients, and a touch of sweetness.
  • Utility: For many families, the bucket itself becomes a lifeline—used to collect water, store food, and more.
  • Impact: Every R500 donation provides a bucket filled with life-sustaining ingredients, offering nourishment and dignity to children fighting cancer when they return home for Christmas.

Join the Movement

Share Your Message of Hope

As a compassionate supporter providing vital nutrition to children battling cancer, we invite you to send a heartfelt message of hope and encouragement. Your words will be written on the buckets given to children as they leave the hospital, offering them a reminder that they are not alone in their journey.
