By donating as little as a bar of soap the community of eMalahleni can help the South African Community Crime Watch (SACCW) to restore the dignity of the homeless with their brand new project.

The SACCW aims to assist the poverty-stricken and homeless women of eMalahleni with this project that will be launched on Human Rights Day, March 21 and end on National Woman’s Day, August 9 this year.

The “Dignity Bag Project” consists of a bag that has been made up of toiletries and daily necessities for the homeless and less fortunate women as mentioned.

“Our main aim for this project will be to restore the dignity of these women and assist them with their sanitary needs while living on the streets or in poverty,” said Maureen Scheepers, founder of this project.

The dignity bag each consist of:

1 x Roll-on
1 x Spray
1 x Small pack of pads
1 x Toothbrush
1 x Toothpaste
1 x Shampoo
1 x Bar of soap
1 x Nail clipper
1 x Washcloth
1 x Body lotion
1 x Pack of wet wipes

If anyone would like to contribute with donations towards these bags, they can contact Christell Oberholzer directly on 065 171 3080 for further arrangements.

“We would like the community to assist us with the distribution of these bags, if you know of any homeless or needy women that would put these bags to use, please contact me on 082 565 6770 and we will gladly deliver a bag,” Scheepers concluded.
