The story behind the Sianqoba soup kitchen :

15 years ago Thobeka Mduduma and her family and friends responded to the needs of their community in Kwazakhele by starting a Soup-kitchen from their family home, initially using their own resources. Siyanqoba Soup-kitchen has grown over the years and their current funding enables them to feed 80 children and vulnerable people 6 days a week. The meal is served at midday from their family home, and consists of a bowl of soup and samp. A unique feature of this soup-kitchen is that the cooking and serving is done by volunteers within the community who are currently themselves unemployed.

The story behind the Malukhanye ? Pre-school :

At the age of 46 Thobeka Mduduma enrolled in night school and completed her matric in 2004. She then started at the Early Learning Centre in Bird street and qualified as a pre-school teacher at the end of 2007. The building of their pre-school is currently at roof height and with additional funding could be completed by the end of the year. The pre-school will cater exclusively for this previously disadvantaged community, a community which is poverty stricken and has insufficient facilities.
