The Baphumelele Children’s Home situated in Site B, Khayelitsha received a gas stove from Bush Radio on Thursday, to help feed more than 100 children currently based at the home.

The home which supplies three basic meals and snacks a day, often face the problem of not offering the meals to the children on time.

“Most of the children come home from school and then the food will not be ready because we don’t have enough stoves,” says administrator for the home, Simpihwe Mabuya.

“We are really happy and grateful for the kind donation that Bush Radio has given us. The same day we got the stove, we used it because we don’t have a lot of other stoves to use,” says Mabuya.

Mabuya added that it is important to provide the children with a warm meal especially because of the cold weather.
