International Day of Charity: How East Coast Radio is changing the lives of thousands
For many years, East Coast Radio has been helping thousands of South Africans improve their lives through the Big Favour initiative.
September 5 marks International Day of Charity. The date was chosen because of the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who died in 1997.
She is the founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity.
In 1979, she was honoured with the Nobel Prize for Peace.
She devoted her life to caring for the sick and poor.

East Coast Radio prides itself in the honourable work it has done to better the lives of many South Africans.
Every week, Big Favour, with the help of ECR's loyal listeners and partners, changes the lives of some of the most needy in the community.

The recipients are vetted and chosen with the utmost care and due diligence.
