The 10 day Jackie Ngarande Street Tea began yesterday. Jackie told NewsDay that her background was the driving force behind the initiative.
“Growing up I had a rough background because I was raised by a single mum, who struggled to make ends meet, so I know how it feels not to have anything and when I’m here on the streets, it’s not because I’m rich, but because of my background which plays a big role in everything that I do,” she said.
Ngarande, who is also the goodwill ambassador for Simuka Afrika said anything that anyone could buy with money was cheap.
“Expensive things cannot be bought and my being here is because these people are family. They love me and fight for me and we have a special bond,” she said.
