(GP)TheFanatics Charity Drive : Uncle Ben's Den

Post by Arbee »

Dear Members,

It's time to make a difference to "Uncle Ben's Den" which takes care of the Aged/Frail/Homeless in Pretoria...
They are a non funded charity started 50 years ago by Saron and Ben with a passion for helping the Aged, the Forgotten, the Helpless. They turned their own home into a hostel and over the years recycled bricks from demolished properties to renovate their property to accommodate more individuals, they even built a worship hall entirely from recycled bricks.

Uncle Ben's Den currently houses approximately 160 people, about 60 men and about 100 females. They welcome any form of donation as the sustainability and running costs are very demanding..
