In addition, 2 000 sanitary pads were supplied to high school girls to ensure dignity and uninterrupted school attendance, while 3 000 hygiene packs were delivered across local communities.
According to the organisation’s ministry coordinator, Veronica Ragovan, the numbers tell only part of the story. “2025 has been about building stronger partnerships, expanding our volunteer base, and sharing countless moments of hope and compassion with the Midrand community,” she said.
Looking ahead to 2026, Acts of Love plans to grow its feeding and household-support programmes and launch skills-development and empowerment initiatives aimed at long-term stability. The organisation also intends to deepen collaborations with local churches, schools, and businesses while strengthening youth-focused outreach programmes.
Ragovan expressed heartfelt gratitude to the volunteers, donors, sponsors, and community partners who made these efforts possible. “Every meal served, every pack delivered, every act of kindness reflects the dedication and generosity of our supporters,” she said.
