SA’s shining global example of heroic humanitarian aid came when Ukraine called – Gift of the Givers' Dr Imtiaz Sooliman

The Gift of the Givers Foundation is the largest disaster response NGO of African origin and its founder, Dr Imtiaz Sooliman has only one criteria when he considers whether he should go and help; he serves humanity. And when he got the call from Nataliya Venter, the Ukrainian wife of South African De Villiers Venter; Gift of the Givers sprang into action to help Ukraine. Since the start of their Ukrainian intervention, Dr Sooliman and his team have partnered with Ukrainian and Romanian aid organisation and have expanded their operations to reach deep into the war-torn country to help coordinate aid efforts, supply fuel, save dogs and make sure that elderly people who are trapped, can be fed. Dr Sooliman told Linda van Tilburg about his venture into Ukraine and how the foundation has never stopped feeding the hunger and their supplies to hospitals in South Africa. He is a man on a mission and his rapid-fire lists of the efforts that they are involved in, are a glowing testimony to this incredible organisation which is as heroic as the people of Ukraine who stood up to the aggression by their much more powerful neighbour.
