600 Lenasia residents receive blankets and bread through Moti Cares Winter Drive and Wise Giving Foundation

Johannesburg, 15 June 2026: Six hundred Lenasia residents received blankets and bread this past weekend as Moti Cares extended its 2026 Winter Drive into the area, bringing practical relief to vulnerable households facing the cold winter months.

The Lenasia distribution was coordinated with the support of Wise Giving Foundation, a community-based organisation that understands the needs of residents in the area and works closely with families and individuals facing hardship.

Moti Cares provided the blankets and bread to support the foundation’s local distribution efforts, helping ensure that the items reached people who needed support during the cold winter period.

Zunaid Moti, founder of Moti Cares, said the Lenasia distribution highlighted the importance of working with trusted community organisations.

“Local organisations often know the need better than anyone else. They know which families are struggling, which elderly residents need support, and where help can make the biggest difference. Our role is to support that work and help them reach more people,” said Moti.

He added that the Winter Drive is about providing practical support in a way that respects local knowledge and community relationships.

“This campaign is not about arriving in a community and assuming we know everything. It is about listening to the people on the ground and supporting the organisations that are already doing the work,” he said.

The Lenasia distribution forms part of the broader Moti Cares 2026 Winter Drive, which aims to distribute 20,000 blankets across South Africa during the winter season.

The campaign also continues to encourage members of the public, particularly young people during Youth Month, to identify communities, charities, families and organisations in need of winter support.

Nominations can be made by commenting on Zunaid Moti’s official social media platforms and sending a direct message with contact details and more information. The Moti Cares team will review and verify nominations where possible as the campaign continues.

Moti Cares has been running its annual Winter Drive for the past few years and has previously supported more than 60,000 people through donations to under-resourced communities, shelters, religious organisations, care facilities and families in need.

As winter continues, Moti Cares will roll out further distributions every weekend, working with community leaders, religious leaders and local organisations to reach vulnerable households across South Africa.
