Last year, in 2023, we packed 3000 Immanuel Shoe Boxes for all our children in the care of SA Cares for Life. For many of these children this will be the only Christmas Gift they will receive this year.
SA Cares now have 3 areas to choose from for this year's Immanuel Shoe Box Project. Gauteng, Mozambique or Western Cape!
