Story 3
The Crystal Fountain hosted a Diabetes and Pre-World Aids Day Drive in Pimville, Soweto, earlier this December.
The day brought healthcare services to the community as an alternative to going to the local clinic.
The Sivukile Fitness Club joined community members interested in an aerobic session, and supported them before having their vitals checked.
The CF was founded in 1999 to aid the homeless and individuals with terminal illnesses linked to HIV/Aids in Soweto.
They later recognised additional community needs and moved to address various social, cultural and economic challenges in the community.
