Dignity bag-project is still ongoing in eMalahleni

This project has become a heart-warming outreach to a woman that is normally not even noticed.

The South African Community Crime Watch driven project ‘The Dignity Bag’ is still going strong in restoring the dignity of local homeless and poverty-stricken woman.

During May numerous bags were distributed once again by the team.

“These bags are not only being used for the initial need of the poverty sticking, but also for other programs where we are involved such as when a woman is sent for rehabilitation or rescued from harsh situations and sent to a safe house; they all receive a Dignity Bag. The need for these bags is enormous and that’s why we would always like to have a steady amount in stock when the need arises to have a bag available,” explained Maureen Scheepers, founder of the project.

Bags filled with toiletries were handed to two residents who are currently attending the Salvation Hope Rehabilitation Program in Ezinambeni.

Another bag was also donated to the famous ‘Klipvrou’ Promise Ndlovu, who always appreciates the toiletries at her new home.

This project has become a heart-warming outreach to a woman that is normally not even noticed.

This is an ongoing project, with an ever-growing need for donations.

Anyone willing to contribute with bag contents or donate bags can contact Christell Oberholzer direct on 065 171 3080.
