Government to Donate School Uniforms to Poor Children

Mpumalanga Health and Social Development will donate school uniforms to 10,000 poor children before the end of this month to help parents who can't afford to buy them.

The department spokesperson, Abie Ndlela, points out that: "The department acknowledges that going back to school can be very costly, especially with school uniform prices soaring."

Ndlela thanked social workers and community development workers for helping the department identify poor children who need school uniforms and food parcels.

In the same vein, the children will also be given food parcels for three months, while a poverty alleviation project called War Room on Poverty will be launched by the end of January.
