Support for Mustadafin’s event, ‘Fish with us for a purpose, to feed a mind and feed a belly’

The Mustadafin Foundation, an NGO actively working with under-resourced communities in the Western, Eastern Cape as well as Eden Karoo district, is hosting a fundraising initiative, ‘Fish with us for a purpose, to feed a mind and feed a belly’. This event is a fun open fishing competition fundraiser suitable for the whole family.

‘Fish with us, to feed a mind and feed a belly’ will take place on Saturday, 05 February starting at 12:00 with weigh-in and a prize giving ceremony taking place from 16:00

“To realise the full potential of this fundraising event, we are calling on individuals and businesses to consider becoming a sponsor for the event,” says Ghairunisa Johnstone-Cassiem, director at Mustadafin Foundation.

Events like ‘Fish with us’, provides Mustadafin with a source of important funding to allow them to continue vital work within the communities that they serve. Prior to COVID-19, Mustadafin fed 15 000 registered beneficiaries daily, it has now increased to 27910 beneficiaries daily. Poverty, hunger and a lack-of access to basic resources has increased during the pandemic, and we are forging on to deal with these social disparities.
