\n\t\t\tCOVID-19 Courage relief programme\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t

In the middle of April 2020 The Isibindi Foundation launched a massive feeding programme in response to the devastating effect of the Covid-19 shutdown. Vulnerable homesteads in the rural communities surrounding our three KZN loges, namely Mpembeni, Hluhluwe, Shengeza, Manguzi, and Mabibi community (compromising mostly of elderly, young children and no or little income) were assisted \ufb01rst.
Our lodge game viewers and team of volunteers from each community and the Isibindi Lodges travelled daily, trucks \ufb01lled with food rations (potatoes, maize meal, beans, cooking oil etc) and travelled to every single homestead in the surrounding community. Thousands of people were fed. Masks and information sheets in Zulu were handed out and working in conjunction with the communities local clinic we screened every single homestead. We implemented a mask making project using lodge sheets. We also supplied fabric and elastic and \ufb01ve seamstresses were soon making hundreds of masks which were handed out free of charge in the community. Communities helping communities!“Thousands of mouths want to say thank you Thonga Beach Lodge!” – Betty<\/strong>

“We are very grateful to the Isibindi Foundation. The mayor of the Big5 Hlabisa Municipality is forwarding his sincere thanks to The Isibindi Foundation and Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge board and management”<\/strong> – Wellman Khumalo, Mpemneni community<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t
