Big Favour: A mother and her kids are rescued from hard times - Part 2

Loading player...
It all started after Zithobile submitted her story to The Big Favour and we offered her a food voucher to assist. However, her response shed light on the harsh reality of their situation - they couldn't even afford the transportation to visit us. This meant her children were missing school, trapped by the financial constraints that surrounded them.

This is not isolated to Zithobile's family. Many South Africans face the same hardship. East Coast Radio is committed to making a tangible difference.
