The Zwelibomvu Drop-In Centre Crèche rondavel was undermined during the April ’22 floods. The wall cracked making the building unsafe for use and an urgent solution had to be found to accommodate the children. A new site was identified and a slab was cast by the Community Outreach Centre.

At their request, KidZAid then facilitated the installation of a Wendy Hut on the new slab to replace the damaged rondavel.

The funding was donated by SizaBantu Piping Systems.
