SHARPEVILLE. – Newly founded organisation “Box of hope’’ will bring hope to disadvantaged boys and girls mainly from informal settlements in the Vaal.
Box of hope plans to provide these young people with a box filled with essentials on a monthly basis.
Founders katleho Malaka (24) and Naledi Mile (27) say the objective for their campaign is to reach 200 boys and girls and assist them with toiletries and sanitary towels.
Mile who is an intermediate teacher introduced the idea to Malaka after seeing how many kids were struggling and are in need of such products through the work she does. The two then began to fund the project from their own pockets.
“Currently, we are asking the community to help us by donating toiletries so that we can make Box of hope bigger and better for the benefit of our young boys and girls.”
Malaka said that many parents in informal settlements were unable to buy their kids toiletries. “We are trying to bridge this gap and insure that we restore the dignity of our future leaders.”
Community members or business owners willing to offer their assistance can contact Box of hope on 0747547578/0766030255
