Trevor Noah brought awareness to the KZN floods that saw more than 40,000 people displaced.
The comedian's plea comes after SA-born Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron came to the aid of the flood victims through her charity, the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project .
In partnerships with the Kolisi Foundation, CTAOP said it managed to feed and temporarily home families displaced by the floods. The organisation has also assisted in disaster relief such as clearing roads, repairing homes and cleaning up schools. “Community halls have been opened to accommodate those affected by the floods. Our partners anticipate that these halls will be hosting people for the next 2-3 weeks while disaster response and rebuilding work begins . We will be distributing community kitchen hampers regularly to these various community halls,” said the organisation.
“To date, the CTAOP community has raised over $13,000 on our Facebook fundraiser, and in totality, we've raised over $23,000 . Every dollar is going straight to the relief efforts of our partners.”
