Sneak Preview of Sophie’s New Kitchen!

Imagine if you had to stay up every rainy night to protect your food and cooking hot plate so your children wouldn’t starve.

For years, Sophie was used to getting up every night putting buckets in the kitchen to capture the rain leaks. If she didn’t, it could mean, losing her food or damaging the creche’s hotplate that cooks 80-100 children's meals a day. Those days are over now!
