How you can help
There are many ways you can help with this initiative!
- If you’re travelling to South Africa & are happy to help transport bras in your luggage then that’s always so helpful! These can be collected from you in South Africa (usually in the large cities) and they’re then taken to where they are needed. And if you’re travelling to the Garden Route then those bras can directly help the community in Harkerville.
- Within SA, donations of sanitary products are of course so welcome, AND there are other ways to help. I want to help with getting a library set up, with childrens and yound adults books (the children are aged between 5 and 15) – so if you’re able to get books to Plettenberg Bay or Knysna in person then please contact me to make arrangements!
If you’re not sure about how you can help, just get in touch with me, Tracey, & we can explore ways!
Thank you ♡

- If you’re in the UK/outside of South Africa, the easiest way to help is with donations. Money goes very far when it’s spent in SA as items tend to be a lot cheaper there, and we don’t have to then pay for transportation.
