Survivors reap fruitful donations from Durban North sponsor

The generous sponsor continues to be a constant support of what the Red Light team does to rehabilitate and equip survivors of human-trafficking.

FOR almost 15 years, a Durban North business has been supporting the Domino Foundation’s Red Light programme through hearty donations, organising golf days and giving cookery lessons.

Nadine Myburgh’s generous weekly donations of fresh produce and eggs has been a tremendous help to the ladies involved in the programme which assists trafficking survivors on their journey to wholeness.

“I have always had an urgency about justice for underserved and vulnerable people.

“Whatever I have I need to be able to use to lift the burdens of others in some way,” said Myburg, of Valley Fresh Produce Wholesalers.

Gill Hammond, shelter manager at Red Light’s safe house, Othandweni – ‘Place of Love’, said the shelter is grateful for the donations that nourish survivors.

“We are so grateful to know we can rely on nourishing quality produce arriving at our door. Many of our beneficiaries have known deprivation in their former lives, and we need to see that they are restored to physical wholeness,” she said.

Hammond invited anyone keen to support Red Light’s restoration initiatives to contact Domino on 031 110 0730 or justice@domino.org.za.

When I am not penning the latest human interest piece, crime or municipal bit, and occasionally a sports update, you can find me in the place I love most – at home with my beautiful family – cooking up a storm, soaking up the sun with a gin and tonic in hand or binge-watching a good series or documentary.
