• Kindness + efficient action = a good outcome for those in need. As demonstrated by one of the Directors of Gumboots SA who has asked for food donations from her local neighbourhood in Johannesburg and then coordinated delivery to one of our project leaders in Alexandra Township who will distribute the food parcels to those most in need. A fantastic example of small scale local action and cooperation that works - thank you to all these generous good-hearted people who are thinking of others in these troubled times! #coronavirussouthafrica #covid_19 #alexandratownship #johannessburg #fooddonation #helpeachother

  • Despite lack of PPE or safe distancing measures, our dedicated project workers and volunteers distribute bags of donated maize meal to desperate families. The Coronavirus pandemic crisis is challenging for all of us but please spare a thought for others less able to cope with it and consider making a one off donation using the link in the bio. It may be sunny in Johannesburg but winter is on its way, bringing heavy rains, cold nights and more misery. Every donation helps us continue our work. Thank you 🙏 #covid19relieffund #coronavirussouthafrica #alexandratownship #gumbootsfoundation

  • Hello from @gumboots_foundation to all of our South African friends at this time of great international crisis. Here at Gumboots Foundation we’re especially concerned about those in the Townships who are struggling to get by at the best of times. Cramped, overcrowded living conditions are no help when people need to stay apart in order to beat the spread of Coronavirus. Also with very little in the way of state financial benefits and an inadequate health system it’s a bleak and worrying time. But our brave and dedicated volunteers are carrying on to ensure that food parcels still get to those in need. We’re with our friends and beneficiaries in spirit and will be there for them when all this is over. Stay home, stay safe. ................................#townshiplife #alexandratownship #coronavirussouthafrica #coronavirus #gumbootsfoundation #ratangbana #southafrica #stayhomestaysafe

  • What a transformation within weeks! The first phase of Alexander Youth Project is built! The land has been prepared and secured; the containers that will house showers, toilets and meeting rooms are on site and the performance area is under cover! Next stage is to lay the performance floor. Before we know it our talented dance group Sigiya Sonke will be stomping those boards - no wonder we’re excited! Incredible progress so far but it’s still full steam ahead with Fund raising- this is an ambitious project! #alexandratownship #southafricandancers#southafricandance #africanyouthempowerment #sigiyasonke #abettertomorrow #empowermentthrougheducation #southafricanfuture #youthofsouthafrica #southafricanyouth #kliptownyouthprogram

  • Ensuring young South Africans learn about their history and how their country is run is vital to social change. Funds raised through last year’s @biggive2018 have been used to kick start our Activity and Recreation Project which ensures that youngsters who live in the Alexandra district of Johannesburg get the same access to interesting and enlightening experiences as their more well off fellow citizens. Here they are visiting Constitution Hill - the seat of South Africa’s Constitutional Court and home to a brilliant museum which tells the story of South Africa’s journey from the dark days of apartheid to the fully democratic country of today. Economic inequality and injustice still remain to be addressed but we’re helping these young people take the first step to unlocking their potential so that they too can participate in the future of this vibrant country and help bring about that change! ..... #alexandratownship #johannesburg #socialchange #southafricankids #constitutionalcourtofsouthafrica #apartheidhistory #africanyouth #africanyouthempowerment #southafricanyouth #gumbootsfoundation #biggive #southafricaneducation #southafricanpolitics #mandelaeffect

  • Some intense concentration going on here! Last December at Gumboots Foundation UK we raised enough money through our Christmas Fundraising drive to set up an Activity and Recreation Project which gives children and young people from the Alexandra township district of Johannesburg a chance to explore exciting and stimulating experiences. Here they are - trying out their creative skills at ceramic painting! Life in the crowded Township can be tough and challenging, so this is a chance for them to relax in a calm, safe space.
