Helping Hands Social Society is based in Chatsworth, Durban, and is a non-profit organisation. The name of the organisation speaks for itself, as it seeks to help and assist those in need.

This organisation has the aim of developing channels and opening networks via its members and partners. It then uses their contributions, such as time, skills or funding, to conduct significant and sustainable schemes.

This initiative began in May last year and aims to bring food relief to individuals in the Asherville, Overport and Springtown areas in Durban, amid the coronavirus pandemic. Its first feeding scheme kicked off with 50 people, and they have since grown to now feeding 380 people every Thursday, with grocery hampers also being handed out once a month. At the moment, the initiative has in excess of 90 households on its database, consisting of the elderly, vulnerable and disabled.
