A Co Cork family is living in a replica shantytown shack in an effort to raise funds for children in lockdown in a South African township.
The Corkery family, from Kanturk, constructed the 6x10ft shack over a week ago and the four siblings have been living, eating and sleeping in the crudely-constructed abode since.
They are providing an online live stream of their life in the shack as they seek donations to provide food parcels and sanitary packs for families in a township in Cape Town.
For the past number of years the Corkerys have been part of the Mellon Educate team, helping to build and renovate schools in South Africa.
