Alex Mall

Cold winter mornings motivated the management of Alex Mall to reduce the strain of standing in long queues to get grant money by offering a cup of soup to grant collectors. This initiative was further supported by PG Glass who donated 500 mugs and Shoprite who donated additional ingredients for the soup. This was often the first meal in a day or two for the recipients whose funds are already depleted.

Alex Mall created 100 Dignity Packs - small containers of essential hygiene items for kids at Nokuthula School for Learners with special needs. The school caters for kids with disabilities and other special needs such as Autism and Epilepsy.

The school also runs a community work readiness program where its graduates are thought skills that can get them ready for the workplace.

Through this donation we hope those from the work readiness programme can go into interviews and socialize with the necessary confidence that comes from personal hygiene.
