“Since 2014 we’ve distributed 10 wheel chairs to the disabled, blankets to the elderly and children, warm clothing, toiletries, bibles, sanitary pads to young girls and support to young mothers through baby hampers. During lockdown, Love Story’s assistance helped us as our numbers tripled. We are now able to feed between 350 – 400 people a day. I can write a book on the assistance we’ve received from Love Story”.  – PHUMLA
