“We sell second-hand items and hope that the funds we receive will help us to become more sustainable.” She said they hope the Tzaneen community will support them by buying and donating. “We rely solely on donations to keep our work going, income from the shop will go directly towards it. Residents who want to donate can drop their items at the shop or at our offices. We also collect!” she said.

“We sell everything and anything. If the item does not get sold or is too damaged, we will donate it to someone who can still use it for something (one of our beneficiaries). So literally nothing gets thrown away,” she added. The shop is located at 43 Boundary Street. Call them on 082 825 9692.
