LIVING GRACE

Living Grace seeks to transform the shattered lives of the destitute through the love of Jesus.   We seek to play a vital role in the motivation, treatment and support of people who are destitute, to transform the lives of the destitute through effective networking and to be a voice for the destitute.

A bridge to help the destitute of the area took the form of a feeding scheme which was started approximately 4 years ago from the Radio CCFM hall.   The old Standard Bank building was bought, and three years ago a more intentional program with the destitute was begun. 

 Living Grace provides lockers where the homeless keep their belongings, a shower, a place to wash and dry their clothes, toilets, food parcels, direction in getting ID books, access to Social services, pensions, grants, hospital visits, oversight of their medication for TB and HIV, as well as health and substance abuse support groups.  Living Grace also helps clients get jobs, and accommodation once they are rehabilitated sufficiently to hold down these jobs. Clients are also able to buy very cheap second hand clothing.

 Six of our clients have permanent jobs as street cleaners for the Muizenberg  Improvement District.  Others, after a period of time, have found their self worth again and are capable of holding down a job in the “real world”.  Some clients just need Living Grace as a safety net to catch their breath, seek counsel and social worker intervention to help them sort out their personal problems, and get them back to their families.     

Your contributions to this worthy and vital cause would be greatly appreciated.  Should you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us.

 Many thanks and God Bless you.
