Help Empowervate Trust by helping with contruction for of a home that was vandalised
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
One of our YCAP support team members is a lovely young woman who is bright and hardworking, but has not managed to find employment. She even has her driver’s license. She has been living with relatives but just fought and won a court battle to evict an illegal occupant of her late grandmother’s home. The person gutted the place so there is lot to do. I asked if I could get her some help with it as this will be her fresh start. She was so grateful and sent me this wishlist: Needs: •Roof is burnt and leaking so I think corrugated iron or asbestos can fix it •Doors and Frames × 5 •Windows and Frames ×5 •Paint for inside the house (4× 20 litres) •Cement for fixing the wall and the floor (4bags of Cement with the bags of soil) Urgent wants are the bed and the fridge She lives in Empangeni, KZN.

- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
