Help Africa Food for Thought by donating a generator for supporting a small business
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
At Africa Food for Thought, we're all about making a positive impact on the lives of families. One of our families has started an informal small business from their home. 5 orphaned brothers stay together in Tshepisong and have started cutting hair and mending shoes as a way to bring in income. Loadshedding and cable-theft are making it hard for them to operate their business with regular hours. They would love a small generator to enable them to run the clippers and sewing machine, so that they can be open all day long. Can you help?

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.
