🔸 Renewed Hope For the Mngometulu Family The Mngometulu family from the Lubombo region, has faced tough challenges. Mduduzi (42), the father, works as a security guard at a local school, earning only E1,400 per month (around $78). With this small income, he struggles to support his six children and granddaughter, often unable to afford even the basics like food and clothing. It had been so long since he could buy new clothes for his children that their worn-out garments became a source of shame. “I can’t remember the last time I could afford new clothes for them,” Mduduzi shared, highlighting the constant pressure to stretch every cent. Thanks to World Vision USA's Gift-in-Kind (GIK) initiative, that’s changing. The family received warm sweaters, pajama pants, t-shirts, and baby blankets, bringing more than just warmth -they’ve brought back dignity and hope. Ncam’sile, 18, who dropped out of school in Grade 6, used to feel embarrassed carrying her 2-month-old daughter in old, torn blankets. Now, with the new baby blankets, she can visit the clinic with pride, knowing her baby is wrapped in comfort. Her younger siblings, who once felt ashamed to attend church in their old clothes, now walk with confidence, feeling like they belong. "I love my jersey; it's so warm, unlike my old jersey which made me feel the cold," says 4-year-old Nkazi. This donation is more than just clothes -it’s a fresh start for a family in need. #GiftinKind #TransformingLives #HopeRestored World Vision World Vision Southern Africa QVC Abercrombie & Fitch Co.

LocktonCares Back to School Back Packs Special thanks to Lockton Hartford Office associates and Provision Ministries for compiling 150 “Back To School” Backpacks.
