Knit, sew, crochet… all for a purpose
The organisation’s mission is to help underprivileged children by supplying warm blankets, clothing and food where possible.
Residents from Renishaw Hills lifestyle village recently donated to the Projects with a Purpose Christmas raffle held at Mackaya Bella Community Centre.
Projects with a Purpose, established in 2018, consists of a group of volunteers who put their knitting, crocheting and sewing skills to good use in an effort to help others.
The organisation’s mission is to help underprivileged children by supplying warm blankets, clothing and food where possible.
The team has been keeping busy during lockdown, crafting Christmas-themed items to be raffled.
This year’s top prize was a beautifully made wooden nativity scene won by resident, Jacqui Robinson.
“We are so grateful to all the Projects with a Purpose members who’ve donated their time, money and skills for this worthwhile initiative, as well as to our wonderful residents who all generously supported the evening,” said Linda Melling-Smith of Projects with a Purpose.
An amount of R6 205 has been raised and will go to Jona Vaughn Home in Amanzimtoti.
This is a residential care facility for 80 children and adults with profound intellectual and physical disabilities, all of whom come from different economic and cultural backgrounds.
“Many have devoted families while others have no family support or have been abandoned altogether,” added Linda.
