On 17 August we reported how a 43-year-old woman — who we called Andiswa — was left disabled after an especially brutal rape. Readers asked how they could help. We’re pleased to report that Iliso Care Society is helping out.

We profiled Iliso earlier this week. Following our request, the organisation has confirmed that it is providing assistance to Andiswa, by cooking for her and cleaning her house.

You can donate to Iliso if you wish to help people facing similarly difficult circumstances to Andiswa. (GroundUp is not connected to Iliso and is not involved in any way with donations made to Iliso.)
