During the months of September and October 2018, we scurried about like Jack rabbits as we had received a huge truckload of carton boxes filled with 60 nappies in each box.
As we are newly relocated to the Western Cape Province, after 16 years of service in the area of Gauteng, we had to find a distribution solution as the plan was to help the poor in the rural farming towns.
Thankfully we had built up much experience during our time in Gauteng, having distributed 422.5 tons of donated goods to poor areas across the country, so what's it to distribute another 0.5 tons? And so here's a tip for all that want to donate bulk goods or items to the poor. Place a call for free in the community bulletins of the local radio station. We were soon flooded with requests for adult nappies by frail care centers, disabled children homes and community members.
Need I say that we responded with alacrity!
Here's a story that you have to READ!
*Rachel is a young school girl that lives in a rural township. She lives with her grandmother, as her parents died and recently her grandmother had a stroke rendering her bed ridden. So little Rachel contacted us pleading for nappies, as her grandmother only receives a tiny state grant and they have to spend some of it to buy nappies, leaving Rachel to sleep hungry at times during the month. Fortunately and I say this with a heavy heart, Rachel's grandmother will recover some of her walking abilities, but during her convalescence period she has to use adult nappies.
