A UNIQUE collaboration by two remarkable organisations will help facilitate a rape survivor’s first steps to recovery.
Uzwelo Bags, an Expand a Sign initiative, and The Jes Foord Foundation, an NPO, have formed a partnership to support rape survivors.
Every Jes Foord-Uzwelo bag purchased and given on your behalf, after the victim’s initial reporting process, contains a selection of toiletries and care items to help start the victim from journey to survivor.
Sadly, up to 60 per cent of bags packed are for children under the age of 12. The Jes Foord-Uzwelo bags and contents are carefully selected and designed to be relevant to different ages.
Buying a Jes Foord-Uzwelo bag enables you to be part of the solution, and help to empower a rape survivor. These functional, stylish and affordable Uzwelo bags are manufactured from 100 per cent recycled PET non-woven felt. Each unique bag is hand made by local heroes who are now earning a living that puts food on the table for their families, funds education and provides dignity and upliftment for their communities long-term.
