ABOUT US

Impact

Evelyne has been associated with the Mission since 1999. A local pastor referred us to a destitute family who were receiving food from their neighbours. This family was Evelyne, her daughter and five grandchildren. The Mission started supporting the family with weekly food rations, assisted Evelyne to obtain social grants and to open a bank account. She was also given the opportunity to earn extra income from crocheting. Her daughter passed away three years later. So Evelyne became one of the great band of grandmothers saddled with the responsibility of raising their own grandchildren. Evelyne has courageously progressed to a stage where she is able to support herself and all her grandchildren with income from social grants and crocheting. She is considered to be the "mother" of the crocheters and she has probably made more than 800 bags/purses over the years. Her one grand daughter, Nokuthula, also crochets. She earns R30 (ca $4) a week that she uses to support herself at school.
