During winter, thousands of poor, needy and vulnerable South Africans suffer the most as they do not have the means to keep themselves warm and cannot afford winter essentials. For the homeless, winter is the harshest time of the year as many live in makeshift shelters which do not protect them from the harsh storms.

At Muslim Hands, we have been running our Out in the Cold appeal for many years. From its very onset, over 25,000 vulnerable South Africans (elderly, disabled, widows and orphans) have been assisted through the programme. Through your generous donations, our teams have assisted families throughout the Western Cape over the years with winter essentials such as blankets, beanies, hot soup, meals and warm clothes.
