NUSA Volksrust Ward 8 Donates To SAVF Louis Hildebrandt

On the 18th of January 2025, the Interim executives of the Nigerian Union South Africa (NUSA) Volksrust Ward 8 paid a donor visit to SAVF Louis Hildebrandt Child and Youth Care Centre in Volksrust, Mpumalanga, which is situated in the North Eastern part of South Africa. The visiting team comprised Hon Chidi Ugwu, who serves as NUSA Secretary of Volksrust Ward 8, and Hon Carlos Ndukwu, who is the Vice Chairman of the Volksrust Ward 8 and were accompanied by NUSA Provincial Chairman, Hon Uchenna Nwaebiem. Items donated during the visit include writing materials and food items. The centre’s management and staff warmly welcomed the visiting team, who expressed their gratitude for NUSA’s thoughtful gesture.

While the primary purpose of the visitation was to donate relief items for the children at the orphanage as schools were resuming across the country, it was also an opportunity for NUSA to learn more about the SAVF Louis Hildebrandt Child and Youth Care Centre work and to further understand the needs of the organisation and how NUSA can be of support. During the visit, the NUSA team was given a comprehensive tour of the facility, where they observed the living conditions of the children and interacted with both the staff and young residents. The team was particularly impressed by the centre’s dedication to providing a nurturing environment for the children.
