Action during the Pandemic
During July 2021, when a team from St Andrew’s, Biggleswade, should have been visiting Mafambisa and other communities in South Africa, the church put together a Mafambisa Focus Fortnight to raise awareness of their partner community, to pray for the children, the Care Workers, the Caregivers and the Service Centre team.
The Fortnight included posts on social media and the setting up of a Just Giving site to raise funds for one of the capital projects that had been highlighted in Mafambisa Community, our partner community which is a rural village in the east of South Africa. This project was to raise sufficient funds to build a house for one of the Care Workers.
The Care Point has 100 children on its books – the most vulnerable children within Mafambisa. Since 2015, St. Andrew’s has supported around half of the children at Mafambisa Care Point alongside a few other churches.
