Bringing warmth to communities who need it most
Warm Fees is back, and Martin Bester, Round Table, and Good Morning Angels are kicking it off by assisting the Greater Love Foundation!
The Greater Love Foundation was founded by Jeffery and Cookie Naidoo during COVID-19 in response to the plight of impoverished and marginalised communities, especially the elderly in the greater Pretoria area.
Dr Jeffery is also a pastor and has worked in community upliftment for many years while pursuing his career. However, the suffering of many during COVID led him to commit to community work full-time.
"My life purpose is to see defenceless communities transformed and poverty eradicated. Together, we can destroy starvation and create opportunities with skills to change destinies and map a brighter future for all," says Pastor Jeffery.

The Greater Love Foundation runs various projects, including training, upskilling and job creation, but it was its feeding scheme that recently faced a crisis.
Greater Love Foundation supports 35 feeding projects, providing prepared meals to 4,000 people every week.
During the recent power outage in Greater Centurion, Pastor Jeffery reached out to Good Morning Angels after five freezers of meat and other perishables were ruined.

Original Request:
Dear Angels,
Please intervene in our situation. It seems like the government has forgotten us. We've been without electricity for two weeks, and the reports from the municipality, mayor, and councillors contradict each other.
My name is Pastor Jeffery Naidoo, and I run a foundation that feeds 4,000 people every week in 35 different communities. Now, all the food stored in five freezers has spoiled, and it seems like the end is still not in sight.
God will make a way in the midst of the troubles we are going through.
Sincerely,
Dr Jeffery Naidoo
