Help Khulisa Social Solutions by Haberdashery items for 'gogos' in Kliptown
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Khulisa has been supporting through various training interventions, a group of 10 'gogos' from the destitute community of Kliptown in Soweto. They have five years experience in crochet / knitting work and have identified crochet/knitting work as their Christmas sales offer. Online free patterns have been downloaded for them but they require a range of haberdashy items such as wool, cotton, crochet needles, knitting needles, sewing needles, beads etc.

Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
