Warm clothes needed: the Lotus Primary School families in Mthatha
A simple way to help: donate warm clothing for kids at the Lotus Primary School.
🇿🇦 Mthatha, Eastern Cape, South Africa695 views
I coordinate donations at the Lotus Primary School in Mthatha. Every year around this time we hear from families who have nothing warm for their children, and this year demand has more than doubled.
We're collecting clean, gently used or new coats, boots, hats, gloves and scarves in sizes 2 to 14 years. If you're in Mthatha, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Lotus Primary School on Tuesday between 10am and 3pm.
If you're elsewhere, you may offer to sponsor a coat through a local shop - message in the comments and we can coordinate.
Items go to families directly and the rest to the the Lotus Primary School clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
