Through the Greyvensteins Givers Gain project, we as an company support the Rape Crisis Centre in Port Elizabeth.
 

Of all the community involvement we have, this is the most difficult one to raise funds for and to get people involved. We have no pretty puppies to display like animal welfare. No bright eyed kids to show off as success stories. Only victims. Normal everyday people who have suffered and are in desperate need of help and care.

Many of these women and sometimes very young girls arrive for help with nothing except the clothes on their back.




We are therefore very excited about the opening of a new 14 bed shelter which is going to provide much needed assistance to these victims in their biggest hour of need.

WHAT TO GIVE?

The new shelter needs everything that would be required to furnish a home. Beds, bedding, a kettle , an iron. Just look at your own home and you can see exactly what will be needed to make this a place that provides not only shelter but an environment in which the victims can begin to put their lives back together again.

Other than basic furnishings, more personal items are also required such as deodorant, clothes, toothbrushes etc.

And of course - money would always be welcome to assist meeting their needs

A DETAILED SCHEDULE

Below is a list of items required to furnish the home - Not everything but the basics to get going.
Keep coming back, as we will update the list as items keep coming in.

PERSONAL ITEMS
There is a tremendous need for so many personal items that can make a major difference in helping the victims just feel cared for and special. Our staff regularly make up gift packs to give to shelter residents and these include varying items such as : deodarant, soap, motivational cards, chocolates and sweets, body creams, diaries. So anything you would like to give that would add some love to their lives would be welcomed
