In a statement, the foundation said Christmas people is a time to bring smiles to various people especially those in need.
“We took dry and liquid foods to see them through their day to day living. This is part of our mission to look after the elderly in the community.
“The Aged Home houses close to twenty earlier people. These are people whose family tree is untraceable. They either migrated from Mozambique., Malawi or Zambia long back while they were in searching for employment.
“Some lost their relatives due to HIV and Aids and some to Covid 19. This home survives most through donor funding. Although Government also stretches its hand to their day to day living.
Dr. Bernie Foundation Trust has partnered with SODA in the past years. It has been on a philanthropic drive in various institutions donating food items to the needy.
