Pretoria – The Gift of the Givers has made an incalculable contribution to the upliftment of the under-privileged in South Africa and around the world, says the Department of Environmental Affairs.
The department has congratulated the organisation on its 23rd year anniversary for its humanitarian and disaster relief work.
“Outside of its extensive relief programmes in South Africa, Gift of the Givers provides aid to 40 different countries around the globe. Its humanitarian services know no boundaries of race, colour, or creed,” the department said.
The organisation’s personnel are South Africa's brand ambassadors abroad as they provide highly skilled medical assistance to those in need, the Department said.
“Whether implementing feeding schemes in impoverished communities or aiding victims of natural disasters and conflict in far-flung regions: the premise upon which this organization was founded in 1992 by Dr Imtiaz Sooliman, a humanitarian and patriot - remains an inspiration for all who cherish the notion of a universal brotherhood.”
The department also thanked the many South Africans who have supported the work of the organisation throughout the years. –SAnews.gov.za
