Our goal was to give 280 Westlake children a Christmas gift this year. We asked our donors for help, and you came through — enough donations came in to make sure every child received something.

We hosted a Christmas party for 180 learners from our Emmanuel Educare Centre and 100 orphaned and vulnerable children from our Childcare and Protection programme. There was play, treats, and a visit from Santa. Each child went home with a gift bag of toiletries, toys, and clothing. For many of these children, it was the first gift they'd ever received. We are so grateful to our donors for making this possible.
