Clicks gives back to Wentworth Angels as part of its 50th birthday

Clicks store staff and management visited Wentworth Angels in Durban and assisted them by provided home, toiletry and baby products.

This forms part of Clicks 50th birthday and is one of 50 charitable causes identified by Clicks staff nationwide as their way of giving back to the community they serve. A total of 34 projects have been earmarked to receive support through donations of much needed toiletries, infrastructure and basic essentials.

A further R1 million worth of reusable sanitary pads will be donated to 16 schools across South Africa to reduce absenteeism in schools. “Seeing the huge need at Wentworth Angels is very humbling, but also rewarding,” says Donna Davids, CSI Co-ordinator at Clicks.

"We are happy to assist where we can and have enjoyed engaging with and helping the residents here.” Wentworth Angels is a non-profit organisation that assists abused woman and children in Durban. They provide a safe haven for these families as they try to put back the pieces of their lives.

Currently they receive no government funding, and the shelter has been kept open by generous sponsors, and its founder who has supported it through the profits she has made from her own catering business.
