What We Accept

Items That Give a New Life

We gratefully accept the following in good, clean condition. Every piece is sorted, packed and delivered to families who need it most — nothing is wasted.

👕

Clothing

All clean clothing in good condition for adults and children, all seasons. Children's items are especially needed.

📱

Mobile Phones

Smartphones and basic handsets in working order. Even older models change lives — enabling communication, job-seeking and emergency calls.

💻

Computers

Laptops and desktops in working condition, destined for education programmes and economic empowerment across communities.

🛏️

Blankets & Bedding

Blankets, sheets, clean pillows — essential warmth for families who lack them, particularly during cold seasons.

👟

Shoes & Footwear

Shoes in good condition for the whole family, all sizes. Footwear is a basic necessity that many families simply cannot afford.

📚

Books & School Supplies

Books, stationery, educational toys — tools that help children learn, grow and build brighter futures for themselves.
