Foundation receives 100 comfort bags donation
The public showed its support for the Jes Foord Foundation Handbag Project.
DURBAN-BASED law firm Schwenn Inc. recently handed over 100 rape comfort bags to The Jes Foord Foundation following a successful eight week collection campaign in support of the Foundation’s Handbag Project.
The Handbag Project relies on the support of the community to donate new or used handbags containing items that can assist a rape victim during the initial reporting process at the police.
“Thanks to the incredible support of the community we were able to hand over one hundred rape comfort bags as well as one hundred of each of the required items needed to fill each comfort bag,” said Charmaine Schwenn, director of Schwenn Inc.
The Jes Foord Foundation distributes these rape comfort bags monthly to over twenty beneficiaries country-wide.
