Recently, our team in South Africa was able to provide essential provisions to a small children's home located in Hillbrow, Johannesburg. Little Ruby’s is a place of love and safety for 22 children between the ages of three months and four years. All of the children living at the home have either been abandoned or come from homes where they were neglected or abused. This safe haven for children does not currently receive any government funding or sponsorship, and they only have the barest necessities on hand.
In an effort to meet the needs of these precious children, Little Ruby's has begun a partnership with Skyward Charity, and together they are starting the process of registering Little Ruby's in order to qualify for government funding. However, with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, available funding has been scarce. Thankfully, Love Justice was able to step in and provide them with formula and diapers—their most urgent needs—during the lockdown.
A member of Skyward Charity shared, "Thank you so much for the donations! I can't tell you how much it is going to help them [Little Ruby's]! I just phoned the founder, and she burst out in tears! They came to fetch the items today, and I also put together packs for moms in need. I have a couple expecting twins and a mommy that went into labor this morning that had absolutely nothing, to name a few."
To date, Love Justice has provided aid to almost 60,000 individuals who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic—and that number is growing every day.
