The City of Cape Town signed memoranda of agreement on the 1 July 2020 with a number of organisations who work with the most vulnerable groups in the city, cementing a partnership which will see the organisations receiving R20 million in grants in aid funding.
The funds
will be used for humanitarian aid relief which includes the provision of meals, accommodation and developmental programmes for the next six months and include shelters which provide services to survivors of ge nder based violence, organisations that provide services to homeless people and early childhood development centres.
We signed a memorandum of agreement with the respective organisations to ensure that all parties comply with their roles and responsibilities.
The City of Cape Town is committed to ensuring those most at risk are cared for.
Six shelters (Saartjie Baartman, Pride Shelter, The Safe House, Sisters Incorporated, Ihata Shelter, St.
Anne's Homes ) which provide services to women and children who are survivors of GBV were awarded funding
to provide ongoing psycho-social services, outreach and COVID-19 specific support.
The identified families of children attending Council owned ECD centres will receive a food parcel over the next three months.
This food aid also includes support to 1000 artists (crafters and buskers).
