KZN Disaster Response: Organisations working together.

KZN Disaster Response: Organisations working together.

Date: 2021-07-13

KZN Response, a collective of proactive Christian organisations, which was created in response to the COVID 19 lockdown last year, has been helping communities affected by food shortages caused by the civil disobedience campaign.

KZN Response comprises KZN Christian Council; Zo‘-Life; The Domino Foundation; The Red Cross Society and City Hope Disaster Relief.

KZN Response hosted a mammoth clean up last weekend, working with Global Shapers and Durban Solid Waste, which saw hundreds of people coming out to help clean Addington Beach, uShaka and Berea Centre.

The collective has been organizing ongoing outreach managing trucks full of donations and distributing food and essential items to affected communities. Literally tons of maize have been donated by Premier Foods and sent down from Gauteng, which is being distributed through the combined networks.

Sharing infrastructure, resources, contacts and networks, they are better placed to provide focused and efficient response to requests across the province. Working together makes us stronger, and more efficient, and avoids duplication and waste, explains Sihle Nxasana who works with KZN Response and heads the marketing arm of The Domino Foundation.

Each organization has individual areas of expertise and strengths, so we can achieve so much more when we all join forces around a single need, streamlining our operations and working together, he said.

A big part of their outreach is an ongoing needs assessment to identify where and what the needs are, and to match the needs with donor responses. To maximise efficiency and community reach, the collective also finds organisations in each instance working directly within the affected areas, to partner with and support. Their network is able to assist beneficiaries in the main cities and towns, as well as through rural community structures.

KZN Response invites corporates, organizations, individuals and groups who want to get involved in any way, to do so. Volunteers, resources and donors are required to dovetail on the reach and services already being offered.
