August 2023
Our Waitrose Foundation CEO, Kobus Visagie, visited Grabouw on Friday 4 August for a special handover ceremony at Paul Cluver. The De Rust worker committee identified the need for gas stoves for their community as essential to making a practical difference to families during periods of loadshedding. Available project funding (through exporter Kromco) was used to purchase the stoves. It was a very moving ceremony with speeches and heartfelt prayers by the workers, expressing their gratitude for the funds.
