Aranda Textiles has once again gifted South Africa’s most underprivileged communities with the fluffiest, warmest blankets for the winter. This time around they partnered with their USA based distributor, Thula Tula. This year marks the 18th year the company has, donated blankets, which is deeply appreciated by Clover Mama Afrika and those in their care.
“With South Africa’s winter set to be a cold one, especially for the Gauteng and North West provinces, we are beyond grateful for the generous donation,” says Prof Elain Vlok, Clover Manager, Clover Mama Afrika Trust.
“Each year, we see new people in need, flocking to the centres of our Mamas; children, elderly or those facing other hardships, who come looking for help and refuge. These beautiful blankets are put to good use, keeping those in need warm, but restoring some of their dignity as well,” notes Prof Vlok.
Clover Mama Afrika is a sustainable Corporate Social Investment project that has been in existence since 2004, seeing the project host 440 training sessions with over 2313 beneficiaries over the years. A major part of the project is the concept of skills transfer and sharing, and these blankets signify more sharing, and the spreading of love and comfort.
“It warms my heart to know that thanks to Aranda, more of those in need will be taken care of this winter. I hear from our Mamas each year, who tell us that one blanket can be shared by four children, and I know that these blankets are put to great use and appreciated more than most of us realise, and for that, I sincerely thank Aranda Textiles on behalf of our Mamas and their communities,” ends Vlok.
