The EPIC Foundation invites you to give back on Mandela Day
With your help, three initiatives could make a difference in the lives of gender-based violence (GBV) survivors.
The EPIC Foundation, a Gauteng NPO, supports survivors of GBV through the Comfort Pack project.
Over the past decade, the foundation has helped more than 60 000 survivors from victim empowerment centres, rape crisis/trauma centres and hospitals.
The foundation will run three initiatives for Mandela Day.
The first is a work initiative when they invite employers to contribute to the foundation’s cause by collecting comfort pack items.
Participants can start collecting from July 1 and then do packing at their offices on July 18.
The second is a public initiative for people who want to contribute to an organisation but cannot spare 67 minutes.
Donate R200 toward a comfort pack. For financial donations, click HERE.
The third is another public initiative where you can contribute donated items for the comfort packs.
The comfort packs include bottled water, body lotions, deodorants, hair combs, hair elastics and clips, face clothes and soaps, lip balms, sanitary towels, small notebooks and pens, sweets, toothbrushes and toothpaste, Vaseline, underwear and a drawstring bag to put the items into.
