TOUCHING 100 LIVES - House of Compassion

--:--
Tammy Kissoon, recently started volunteering at the House of Compassion Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centre. House of Compassion is an NPO offering rehabilitation programmes for alcoholics and drug addicts and has been running for 17 years.

The vision of being self-sustainable has always been a goal that the House of Compassion consistently works towards.

One of their projects is to develop a greenhouse on vacant land (which they already have), which would allow for growing vegetables for the centre as well as to sell to consumers together with plants and flowers.

The development of this harvest project will be beneficial in two ways: firstly as an income generator and to provide food for the residents, and secondly, it’ll serve as one of the rehabilitation programmes to incorporate essential learning elements.

Hot Cares is happy to help with the required gardening tools and building supplies necessary to complete this Harvest Project – total value R10 000.
