WeFeedSA Clean-Up Campaign – Verulam

Participants from WeFeedSA were actively involved in a clean-up campaign at Mount View Secondary School in Verulam.

The dense bush along the pathway from Russom Street to Old Inanda Road had become a haven for criminal activity.

In recent weeks, several schoolchildren have fallen victim to crime by individuals hiding in the overgrown vegetation.

Our WeFeedSA team responded immediately and volunteered to assist with clearing the area, helping to create a safer environment for both learners and parents.

The team also assisted the school in cleaning up the school grounds.

Well done to the team for a job well done and for their commitment to keeping our children safer.

The Deployment Plan:

As a neutral member of this community, my goal is simple: Results.
