Help for Jumpas residents

JUMPAS – "We provide a soup kitchen for people at Jumpas and surrounding areas."

Women and young girls from Jumpas informal settlement received sanitary pads from Kingdom Dream Centre in Cleveland.

The NPO also provides a soup kitchen for local residents in the area.

Pastor Queenie Bismark said they have been running the soup kitchen for 16 years.

“We started at central Johannesburg but we are now based here in Cleveland. We provide soup for people at Jumpas and surrounding areas. We give dignity packs to young girls and provide soup for residents. We would like to start going to schools to feed there,” said Bismark.

During the Kingdom Dream Centre‘s visit to Jumpas on Tuesday last week, they were accompanied by two visitors from America.

“I wanted them to come and see what we do.”

Residents expressed their gratitude after they received sanitary packs from the church.

Mbali Tsefu, a Jumpas resident, said she is grateful for the support they give to residents.
