YOUR SMALL DONATION MEANS FRESH WATER AND DAILY BREAD FOR 20 PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO ONE ELSE Can you imagine surviving without running water, electricity, or enough food? For the 20 vulnerable souls living on our land—mostly elderly community members without work—this is a daily reality. We are completely off the grid and fighting every single day just to provide the absolute basics. To give our people water, we have to buy petrol just to run a generator to pump it from deep underground. With today’s petrol prices, this has become an impossible headache. We have no main electricity. We rely solely on a few solar panels to keep our single fridge running and to provide light at night. We cook entirely with gas, which costs a fortune. Our biggest hurdle right now is food and hygiene. Because our residents are elderly and unable to work, we rely entirely on donations. But when donations don’t arrive on time, our people go hungry. We bake our own bread daily to stretch our resources, but we are running on empty. We are humbly asking our community to step in. If you can spare even a small amount, you will be directly keeping these 20 souls safe, fed, and clean. How you can help us survive: • Monthly Financial Support: Any small monthly donation helps us buy the petrol needed for water and the gas needed for cooking. • Baking & Food Essentials: Maize meal, cake flour (for our daily bread), cooking oil, tea bags, and fresh or long-life vegetables. • Canned Goods: Baked beans, canned meat, and other non-perishables. • Hygiene Products: Bath soap and washing powder are urgently needed right now. "We only have each other to lean on." Please help us, to help others. You are more than welcome to come out, visit our farm, and see our community for yourself.
A massive Thank You to Michael and his beautiful wife for helping us out with meat this month. We had absolutely nothing this past weeks, but Michael at Petronella Slaghuis helped us out twice. We are so incredibly thankful for your kindness. Thank you so much for helping our small community. You are loved ❤

URGENT Our generator broke down and is unfixable. We are a community of around 25 residents and we are completely reliant on our borehole and a generator to pump our water because we do not have municipal water. We are in very big trouble if we cannot pump water. We are desperately looking for assistance to buy a new generator. Please contact Leigh on 0727388101. Please 🙏🏻 we are really in trouble without water. Please share this post as much as you can. Thank you to all our amazing donors.

Today marks 4 years since I have started my journey with the SAFRP after a serious stroke and incorrect decisions taken from a senseless life to recovery to meaningful, healthy means and ways of living. These 1460 absolute sober days at this place happened without any judgement where I was only loved and accepted for what I am with support and believe in me. With taken accountability and responsibility of my life I was granted the opportunity to coach others in recovery and those with problems, acting as spiritual Lead in bringing Hope and God’ remembering of us all. I was granted the opportunity to have found my Saviour commencing a living and meaningful relationship with Him spreading the Gospel and His daily Grace in my life. This place brought me to my purpose in Life and God’ plan for me in it. The past year (since Apr’25) I have started my own “teVREDE Pet and Home sitting” business with a current booking rate of 90% for the time and many teVREDE, happy customers who make use of my services over and over becoming friends of mine. I am however still resident to the SAFRP committed to donations and each of the inhabitants of this project appreciating all who has crossed my journey. My blessings were extended and amplified by the birth of my first Grandson, Jordaan during January’26 upon the continued success and blessings of my business initiative. My sincere thanks and appreciation to Leigh and Marius du Preez of the SAFRP for your guidance and support, for providing me with a stable and the best platform in becoming the best version of myself I ever have been for everybody around me in serving my Saviour. You have became my family and part of my life. Thank you to all who chose to stay in my life (family, friends, new friends) making it purposeful. Thank you and recognition to God for ultimately supporting me and second chances in Life.

We would like to extend a massive thank you to one of our past residents Leon Spamer and his friends that came out yesterday and spoiled everyone with with boerewors rolls, cupcakes and much needed food donations. What an absolute blessing that someone we assisted in the past came to give back. Leon is a success today and we are so incredibly proud of him. This is what love truly is about. It is a testament of our work and that people don't just move on but that we end up being family. All the Glory to God. Thank you Leon we are so proud of your success.
