The Ramosai family life was changed for the better this past weekend when Trans Cash and Carry donated to them a fully-furnished house in Mochudi.
In this household, Rachel Ramosai, who cares for her cerebral palsy-hit children, also shares the home with her mother. She did not have a house of her own and taking care of her children had become a full time job.
All her three sons - 17, 15 and 14 years old - have Cerebral Palsy and this has left her unable to do anything else besides being their caretaker.
Thanks to Grace Peterson, a former Trans Cash and Carry employee renowned for her dedication to helping the less-privileged and supporting women, Ramosai was identified.
Peterson then tipped her former employer about Ramosai’s situation and asked for assistance as part of Trans Corporate Social Investment (CSI) initiative. After considering her circumstances, Trans made a plan to put a smile on Ramosai’s face.
They constructed and furnished the one-bedroomed house with an open plan fully-equipped kitchen, a living room, and modern bathroom facilities for this family, and also provided one month grocery.
Head of Marketing, at Trans, Thapelo Mmono, expressed immense pride and joy in being part of this transformative project. She said that their goal has always been to give back to the community that supports them and they are happy to change Ramosai’s situation.
"Today is a special day for Trans as we hand over the keys to this beautiful home to the Ramosai family. Our goal has always been to give back to the community that supports us. We hope this home will bring comfort, security, and happiness for many years to come,” she said.
Mmono added that the project is a testament to Trans’ commitment to social responsibility and community development.
Over the years, Trans has been involved in various projects focusing on education, healthcare and housing, with the aim of creating sustainable development and improving the quality of life for all.
Ramosai expressed gratitude to Trans, saying that Trans has given her a new status, being a home owner. “We are overwhelmed with joy and gratitude. I never thought that I would be able to have a house of my own, and I am very grateful for this incredible gift,” Ramosai said.
Community leaders in attendance also commended Trans for its dedication to uplifting the community. Kgosi Mpho Pone of Phaphane ward in Mochudi highlighted the importance of such initiatives in fostering a spirit of solidarity and support within the community.
