HOW IT WORKS
Making A Difference
CLOTHING COLLECTION
Every year, consumers are purchasing billions of Rands worth of new clothing. Where is the old clothing going? It is sitting unused in our closets.
It is time to put this unutilised resource to work...
COLLECTION CONTAINERS
The Collective has established various collection containers in convenient public areas.
These containers are longing for your old clothes! We take anything* from children's wear to adult wear as well as bedding and shoes.
*However, it is appreciated if the items donated are in a usable condition.
SORTING
Once collected, all items are sorted into various grades of clothing. This is then made ready for distribution.
DISTRIBUTION AND RESALE
Once the clothing has been distributed to previously disadvantaged mothers, they will on-sell the clothing to the informal sectors.
The selling of the clothes will not only increase the confidence and entrepreneurial skills of these women, but will have a ripple effect on the confidence of those wearing good quality clothing.
