We are super proud of her achievements, Gisele will be offering her voluntary services in the area of community advocacy and publicity online. We wish her success in all her endeavours.
Thanks to you our donors, Beautiful Life TCD was able to provide much needed lunch packs, school uniforms and shoes for children during our Back – To – School Share-A-Thon in January 2023
During the month of February, the month of love, we hosted our “Share The Love” campaign for single parents and children in need.
We were able to bless several families on the Cape Flats who are unemployed and in dire need, with a meal voucher, thanks to your financial contributions. We could not have done it without your support.
Team Beautiful Life distributed Food Love Buckets in the Cape Flats on Mother’s Day to honor motherhood.
In May 2023, we ran our Mother’s Day Share-a-thon for single parents and grandmothers in need of a meal. A study conducted at schools on the Cape Flats found that 1 in 4 children are raised by a single mother or grandmother. We distributed Food Love Buckets for Mother’s Day.
On 1 June 2023 we celebrated Global Parents Day! During this month we are hosting parenting workshops based on a research study conducted under the supervision of Stellenbosch University, by Wendy La Vita, Research Psychologist, on the topic, “The relationship between parenting style and prosocial behaviour of preadolescents in a South African context.

Sponsor a Winter School Uniform and Shoes for a child in Youth Month, June 2023
A recent visit to one of the schools in the Athlone district revealed that children drop out of school because they do not have the regular school uniform and shoes or socks and a raincoat to keep warm and dry.

Rerun of our Easter Story
“Spread the Joy”: The Story of Easter lives on in 2022/23
April 2022/23
Easter Newsletter
Easter is a time of celebration and joy for many people around the world. However, there is more to this special time than chocolate egg hunts and hot cross buns. The story of Easter carries a significant message in the Christian faith, one from which we can all learn. The following is a simple and engaging version of the Easter story which we can easily share with our children and loved ones.
Jesus Christ taught people about the power and love of his Father, our God. He attracted many believers and followers. The leader of the Roman Empire, Pontius Pilate, saw this as a threat. Pilate ordered the death of Jesus, and he was nailed to a cross in front of a crowd to scare them into stopping their support for Jesus. Before he died, Jesus forgave all of mankind for our sins.
Jesus’s followers buried his body in a tomb. They rolled a large stone over it to keep his body safe. After three days, Jesus’s friend, Mary Magdalene, found that the tomb was open and the body missing. An angel appeared to her and told her that Jesus had risen from the dead. Jesus himself then appeared, showing his followers the holes in his hands from the nails to prove it was truly him. Jesus rose from the dead! He told his followers of his Father’s eternal love for his people, and then ascended into Heaven. Jesus is alive and interceding on our behalf to the God our father.
This story reminds us that there is life, even after death. Jesus Christ will always be present in our hearts. It is in his spirit that we celebrate rebirth and resurrection. The eggs at Easter time represent a fresh beginning. Even after the darkest of times, God gives us the strength to find a new start.
As part of our Spread The Joy Easter Campaign we would like to honour the Easter message by gifting Easter hampers to those in need. We want to give everyone a reason to smile this Easter and inspire hope for new beginnings.
Your love gift or Three Hundred Rand (R300.00) will provide a grocery hamper for a hungry family during the Easter Holidays.

To: The Beautiful Life Family
Season’s Greetings!
To all our donors and volunteers who partnered with us during 2022 a huge thank you for your support. We value your input and all your love gifts towards our community projects.
Thanks to your help Beautiful Life TCD has been able to partner with many families in need of basic supplies, counselling, training and support. Many thanks to our volunteers who worked tirelessly to raise funds and assist with admin and marketing throughout the year.
Reviews from our beneficiaries
“Beautiful TCD – What an amazing organisation. Not only does Beautiful Life provide relief to the community in many forms, but they also restore dignity and give hope – making a visible difference. Thank you, Beautiful Life Team and Sponsors” Samantha, Lansdowne
“Thank you, Beautiful Life, for the Grocery Voucher, we had no food in the house, and I was very depressed. I messaged the counselling line and was delighted to get a call back immediately; I am a youth from a single-parent home in Bishop Lavis.
Community Outreach During 2022
We partnered with Hillsong Africa Foundation, Radio CCFM, Focus on the Family Africa, Christianity Works and together with your financial support we were able to provide social, counselling and spiritual support to families across South Africa.
Additionally, we were able to provide lunch packs, school uniforms and shoes for children in townships in Cape Town. I am delighted to share that we have broadened our outreach to include school children in the Krommerivier community on the outskirts of Stellenbosch.
With your help we have been able to bless a number of families during the year with a meal voucher. However, the demand for food and basic supplies is much greater than our resources to sustain the ever-increasing number of children, families and elderly, who are hungry due to the economic pressures faced as a result of high unemployment which has had a devastating effect on the already disadvantaged communities in South Africa. We are therefore appealing to you to bless a family this Christmas Season with a meal to sustain them during the long school holidays.

“Spread the Joy”: The Story of Easter lives on in 2022
April 2022
Easter Newsletter
Easter is a time of celebration and joy for many people around the world. However, there is more to this special time than chocolate egg hunts and hot cross buns. The story of Easter carries a significant message in the Christian faith, one from which we can all learn. The following is a simple and engaging version of the Easter story which we can easily share with our children and loved ones.
Jesus Christ taught people about the power and love of his Father, our God. He attracted many believers and followers. The leader of the Roman Empire, Pontius Pilate, saw this as a threat. Pilate ordered the death of Jesus, and he was nailed to a cross in front of a crowd to scare them into stopping their support for Jesus. Before he died, Jesus forgave all of mankind for our sins.
Jesus’s followers buried his body in a tomb. They rolled a large stone over it to keep his body safe. After three days, Jesus’s friend, Mary Magdalene, found that the tomb was open and the body missing. An angel appeared to her and told her that Jesus had risen from the dead. Jesus himself then appeared, showing his followers the holes in his hands from the nails to prove it was truly him. Jesus rose from the dead! He told his followers of his Father’s eternal love for his people, and then ascended into Heaven. Jesus is alive and interceding on our behalf to the God our father.
This story reminds us that there is life, even after death. Jesus Christ will always be present in our hearts. It is in his spirit that we celebrate rebirth and resurrection. The eggs at Easter time represent a fresh beginning. Even after the darkest of times, God gives us the strength to find a new start.
As part of our Spread The Joy Easter Campaign we would like to honour the Easter message by gifting Easter hampers to those in need. We want to give everyone a reason to smile this Easter and inspire hope for new beginnings.
Your love gift or Two Hundred and Fifty Rand (R250.00) will provide a meal for a hungry family this Easter Holiday.

It’s our birthday!
The best gift is the gift of giving
Beautiful Life TCD is celebrating its birthday on the 22nd of March this year. For 12 impactful years, Beautiful Life TCD has been serving families and communities in Cape Town. For our birthday, we ask that you help us continue to help others. Many children and families in the Cape Flats are living in impoverishment, and will go hungry this Easter season.
Each of us has been given their own slice from the cake of life. Let us all look at our slices and reflect on what we have. Some of us have bigger slices, with access to secure housing, good education and job opportunities. Others have smaller slices, where one meal a day is a tough find.
Beautiful Life TCD wants to translate gratitude into give-a-tude. If you would like to share some of your cake, whether it be a sliver or a chunk, please get involved with our “Share the Joy” campaign and make a difference by purchasing Easter food hampers at R250 each.
SHARE-CHALLENGE: It’s okay to get competitive when sharing the love! A special thank you to a generous anonymous donor, whose Birthday Love Gift comprised of 12 Easter hampers! This is our biggest and best birthday donation so far. You can become the new share-challenge top competitor by donating 12 or more hampers!
