CWD director, Lungisa Huna, tries to comfort a family who lost everything in the fire.
Our Crisis Relief team went out to assess the situation and help the people of Langa when they heard about the tragedy.

Will you help these victims of

fire to rebuild their lives?


Mr. Binza and his pregnant wife were looking forward to the birth of their baby. But the devastating fire destroyed their home, and their dreams for the future

Total devastation! 

That’s what I’ve seen after visiting Langa, a township just outside Cape Town that was completely ravaged by a blazing inferno recently. One woman was killed and more than 1400 people have been left homeless.

My heart went out to them – as a friend of CWD I know yours would have too.
But thanks to the kindness of CWD supporters, we could deliver Crisis Relief Basins to people whose houses were destroyed.

And today I’m hoping you’ll want to help, by making your online donation right now.

You see, when tragedy strikes, our Crisis Relief and Prevention Programme makes sure that families who have lost everything are handed a Crisis Relief Basin. Filled with food items, toiletries, a towel and a blanket, these simple basins become a powerful source of comfort and relief for victims of disaster.

But with fire season already here our supply of Crisis Relief Basins is running dangerously low! We have only a few left after handing out basins to the people of Langa …

… and we need to be ready to help other families who’ll lose everything when fires strike again in other townships!

Please will you make an online donation right away so that we can make sure we have enough Crisis Relief Basins? Your gift will tell a family who has lost everything that someone, somewhere, cares about them as they start to rebuild their life.
