I am so happy to inform you that your donations of over R10 000 have enabled us to work with pensioners of Alexandra Township. They will be sewing face masks for other pensioners, the sick, and others who need them but cannot afford to buy them.  We will also be selling the masks so that this becomes a self – sustainable project.
 
We need your help as follows;

• If you have material to donate or to sell to us, this will be much appreciated. We need lots of cotton material to sew as many masks as possible. We want the masks to have 3 layers so that those wearing them are highly protected so we need lots of material. With the lockdown, we can’t buy the materials. We also need elastic bands.
• If you have an industrial sewing machine to sell or donate, please do so as we want to sew as many face masks per day as possible
• If you are able to donate cash, that is also most welcome
