The women from ‘Love My Do Hair Salon’ decided to jump on board by gathering women’s toiletries from their customers during women’s month.
The generous donation was handed over to the founder of the South African Community Crime Watch driven project, The Dignity Bag Project, Maureen Scheepers on Thursday, September 9.
WITBANK NEWS previously reported on this generous gesture that would’ve been only for the women’s month last year, but the need kept coming and the project kept going.
This project consists of a bag that has been made up of toiletries and daily necessities for the homeless and less fortunate women of eMalahleni.
“We aim to restore the dignity of these women and assist them with their sanitary needs while living on the streets or in poverty. We also give these bags to the women that are rescued from horrible circumstances and taken to a safe house or rehabilitation centre. There is a huge need for this resource in our city,” said Scheepers.
If anyone would like to contribute with donations towards these bags, they can contact Maureen Scheepers on 082 565 6770 for further arrangements.
They need bulk donations for the following items:
Each bag contains:
- 1 x roll-on
- 1 x spray
- 1 x small pack of pads
- 1 x toothbrush
- 1 x toothpaste
- 1 x shampoo
- 1 x bar of soap
- 1 x nail clipper
- 1 x washcloth
- 1 x body lotion
- 1 x pack of wet wipes
“Help us restore the dignity of our women. This project will run indefinitely as there is always a need. We appreciate all donations so we can continue to help our women,” Scheepers concluded.
