Volunteers contribute by providing relevant information to these women, TLC sessions and a platform to discuss everyday problems that they encounter with the hope of improving their understanding and sense of well-being. Volunteers will have the opportunity to assist with the facilitation of a group; identify relevant discussion topics; provide or source relevant health information; and assist with the ongoing development of the project.

Recycling Swop Shop

Through the Swop Shop our volunteers provide an opportunity for children to gain an understanding of the value of working for goods through a recycling exchange incentive scheme. Local children of 18 years and under exchange recyclable materials for tokens with which they "buy" donated items such as clothes & toiletries.

Volunteers assist in the running of the shop; data entry relating to the project; and marketing of the project.
