The Cape Town Association for the Physically
Disabled launched the Buckets of Hope project in 2009 to address poverty
and unemployment that many Physically Disabled people are faced with. With
community support and assistance from dedicated volunteers, families receive
buckets filled with essential food items. Their goal this year is to distribute
200 Buckets of Hope during the festive season and they require the community’s
help to reach it. Fatima joined me in studio to talk more about the non-profit
organisation and about some of the challenges that are faced by people with
disabilities . She highlights that people should not treat people with
disabilities different and should not be exclude them from the community. I
thank Fatima for being so dedicated and passionate about her work, which
includes assisting people with disability in every possible.
