On Mandela Day, we ran a campaign, “Creating a Ripple Effect”, transforming lives through small donations. We shared Grace’s story: abandoned on a cold night, she was rescued and placed into a loving forever home through the support of Abba Social Services and kind strangers.
In commemoration of Nelson Mandela’s 67 years of service, we aimed to raise funds to help more children like Grace. Regardless of size, every contribution is crucial for creating positive change.
Your generous donations created a ripple effect, providing love and stability to children in need.
