“I am part of the Springs Women’s Forum, the South African Women’s Forum, which is part of the Gift of the Givers.

“I have always been involved in helping the poor and those who are suffering”, says organiser Khatija Mayet.

“Although I started this campaign, I really have not done it on my own and people have contributed so much,” says Mayet.
