Children’s haven receives much-needed contribution
Witgoud Senior Group of Alberton West Dutch Reformed Church recently made a kind donation towards Alberton’s safe house, The Purple Willow.
Witgoud Senior Group of Alberton West Dutch Reformed Church (NG Kerk Alberton-Wes) recently held a raffle of a hand-made comforter on October 19.
The proceeds from the raffle, with a total of R2 140 were in aid of The Purple Willow, Place of Safety in Alberton.
The springboard place of safety will temporarily house young victims of abuse in the greater Alberton areas and the south of Johannesburg.
It will be a place of rest and safety for abandoned, neglected and abused children, run together with Unchain Our Children and Alberton Child Welfare.
Committee member of Ward 106, Nina McFarlane said, “The house is about 85% done with refurbishments. But with year-end approaching, contractors are on deadlines for their work projects.”
She also thanked the kind donation received from these good Samaritans.
