SUPPORT The Denis Hurley Centre booksellers’ project, Street Lit, by buying or donating preloved books at stalls located all around Durban, including multiple stalls located in the Berea area.

Proactive NGO, the Denis Hurley Centre, based in Durban, which cares for the city’s poor and marginalised, is appealing to residents to support one of its flagship entrepreneurship projects, Street Lit. The project helps a dozen homeless and formerly homeless men and women earn a basic income by selling good second-hand donated books at venues around town.

“We are delighted at how well our booksellers are doing and the fact that they are all off the streets and making a living. Please look out for our bright lime-green branding and continue to support them,” said the Denis Hurley Centre director, Raymond Perrier.

You can find Street Lit stalls all over Durban. Booksellers are based at the following places:  KZNSA Gallery, behind the Workshop; Berea Centre; Davenport Square; Botanic Gardens; Pick ‘n Pay Hyper by the Sea; Bluff Towers, outside the Denis Hurley Centre, and at the Playhouse/City Hall precinct.

“Donations of books are always welcome, but please do not give them to the vendors – it is unfair on the others – and do not deliver them to the Denis Hurley Centre. Instead, contact Illa Thompson via email at books@denishurleycentre.org, and she will arrange delivery,” said Perrier.
