thank you, durban!
You came to the rescue when our Homes ran short of essential foodstuffs last week ... and you haven't stopped helping since.
Our elders have been so blessed and appreciative of the food parcels they've received. We were all well aware of the likelihood of food shortages following the violence and destruction. And there were a few tense moments when some of our Homes were down to their last few bags and tins of essentials. But the generous people of Durban never fail.
People have taken food to Tafta homes all over Durban, while others dropped items off at our head office or made donations of cash towards bulk food orders. Thanks to you, we have already distributed the first 400 food parcels to elders in need at three of our homes. Standard Bank generously donated another 500 food parcels.
But the crisis is far from over – and we are going to continue depending on caring people like you to help us care for vulnerable elders in our community.
Please contack Prevashni on 083 781 2006 or email info@tafta.org.za for more information. Or you can donate cash which will be used to buy essential food items for an elder, on your behalf.

Thank you for caring about our elders at this stressful and worrying time.

Rebooting retirement planning post Covid-19
In a recent survey to assess the impact of Covid-19 on retirement planning*, 66% of respondents stated that the lockdown had affected them financially. Among the steps they had to take to stay afloat were:
* Finding another source of income
* Making special arrangements with creditors to pay their bills
* Asking family and friends for financial assistance.
Over one-third of respondents dipped into their retirement savings. While some saw this as ‘borrowing’, a quarter of those who used their savings believe it is a permanent disinvestment or loss – which doesn’t bode well for their financial future.
