Experience a night on the streets: Help combat homelessness in South Africa
U-turn CEO Jean-Ray Knighton Fitt urges South Africans to give up the comfort of their beds for one night, saying it's a powerful step toward helping someone begin their journey off the streets.
As winter creeps in and temperatures begin to drop, U-turn Homeless Ministries is challenging South Africans to embrace discomfort for a night, so others don't have to live in it daily.
The organisation launched a national campaign, 'A Night on the Streets,' aiming to raise R1 million in support of safe space accommodation and long-term solutions to homelessness.
'A Night on the Streets is a chance for ordinary South Africans to do something extraordinary,' said U-turn CEO Jean-Ray Knighton Fitt.
In partnership with BMW Constantia, a group of 30 individuals, comprising of BMW staff, clients, U-turn board members, and supporters, will spend a night on the pavement along Claremont Main Road to raise funds and awareness for people experiencing homelessness.
