From Edenvale with lots of love in Krugersdorp

Little Eden Society hosts a charity event at Cradlestone Mall to raise funds for people with profound intellectual disabilities.

Little Eden Society, a dedicated non-profit organisation in Edenvale, received much love and support during its recent visit to Krugersdorp.

On the East Rand, the NPO is well-known for providing lifelong care to 300 children and adults living with profound intellectual disabilities.

According to Little Eden Society public relations and communications co-ordinator Gaahele Mokgoro, no matter how far they are from the society’s main facilities, they are proud to have formed a new collaboration with U Can Store, where they have donated a storage room in Cradlestone Mall to serve as a convenient drop-off point for the public to donate preloved or gently used household items.

“To kick off this exciting partnership and raise awareness, we set up a pop-up stall at Cradlestone Mall in Krugersdorp on Saturday, August 31. The event was a great success, bringing the community together to learn more about the initiative and how their donations can make a tangible difference in the lives of the Society’s residents. They also raised almost R2 000 from selling second-hand items to the public,” she said.

“Every donation, big or small, directly supports our mission of providing lifelong care to those who need it most,” Gaahele said.

She continued that these events allow the public to donate items such as clothing, furniture, kitchenware, electronics, toys and shoes, which are essential in supporting the daily needs and care of Little Eden Society.

“Join us in making a difference! Bring your donations to the storage unit on the level three parking lot at the mall or stop by one of our pop-up events. Every item donated helps us continue our work in providing compassionate care and a safe environment for those with profound intellectual disabilities,” Gaahele concluded.

If any resident wants to donate, get in touch with Khodani Muthige on 060 586 1856.
