Durban students have designs on anti-human trafficking

FIVE first year students at Inscape, a design college situated in Essenwood, stepped into their leadership shoes and tackled an assignment to raise funds for the Domino Foundation’s Red Light programme.

The programme reaches out to, restores and releases survivors of exploitation and human trafficking.

The students had been profoundly challenged when they had heard of the horrors women encounter when caught in the web of human trafficking.

So, into the kitchen the five went and whipped up a range of savoury delicacies to tempt their fellow students. The designers turned confectionary whizzes raised twice what they had initially aimed for. Student, Thejal Bugareth, was enthusiastic about their first venture on behalf of Red Light: “We are hoping to develop a relationship with the ‘Red Light’ programme by getting involved wherever we are needed.”

The students plan to be back with The Domino Foundation, bringing more creative thinking to help alleviate the plight of some of the Foundation’s 12500 beneficiaries in its six programmes.

Red Light’s Esther Madikane praised the students‘ efforts. “The very current issue of gender-based violence has highlighted the on-going nightmare victims of human-trafficking endure. These students have shown great solidarity with them and with the survivors Red Light is helping.”
