This formed part of the retailer’s 50th birthday as the Wentworth NPO was one of 50 charitable causes identified by staff nationwide as their way of giving back to the community they serve.
A total of 34 projects have been earmarked to receive support through donations of much-needed toiletries, infrastructure, and basic essentials. A further R1-million worth of reusable sanitary pads will be donated to 16 schools across South Africa to reduce absenteeism in schools.
“Seeing the huge need at Wentworth Angels is very humbling, but also rewarding,” said Donna Davids, CSI co-ordinator at Clicks. “We are happy to assist where we can and have enjoyed engaging with and helping the residents here.”
Wentworth Angels is a non-profit organisation which assists abused woman and children in Durban. They provide a safe haven for these families as they try to reclaim their lives. Currently they receive no government funding, and the shelter has been kept open by generous sponsors, and its founder who has supported it through the profits of her own catering business.
