Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Donations can be made at our drop-in centre: 16 Mona Road Durban CBD 4001 We are upstairs on the 1st floor, room 3, above Canvas construction. The entrance is on the right, next door to the meat supply business. Our staff will be available on Wednesdays and Thursdays to take delivery, just ask for Xoli or Buhle. Please email us at admin@ucec.org.za or call us on 031 824 7951 for more information or to make other arrangements. 1. Every year, UCEC prepares A Christmas party for the homeless and the underprivileged people. The party is a fun filled family day with lots of performing artists, food, jumping castles for the children and motivational talk. Each homeless individual (young and old) receives a Christmas present consisting of toiletries, toys and clothes donated by our sponsors. This is to make the homeless and the underprivileged get a sense of belonging to a family during the festive season. 2. Every year, UCEC prepares a graduation party for Impumelelo Pre-School for Grade R pupils going to Grade One. The function consists of fun and music performed by the pupils for their parents and for our sponsors. The day then proceeds with the presentation of certificates by UCEC management and sponsors. The pupils are also presented with stationery, school shoes and school bags to assist the children start of their new school year. 3.UCEC successfully planned and executed our Annual Anti-Human Trafficking 5km Walk since 2014. The walk’s primary objective is to raise awareness on Human Trafficking and to raise fundsfor abused women and children. This spectacular event consists of a fun filled day for the whole family. In 2015, our walk was supported by Rugby icon Tera Mthembu of The Sharks, who made a special guest appearance at the walk. In 2024, DJ & Entertainer J’Sbu joined us, adding his support to the event. In the future, we aim to raise more awareness, reaching more people and organisations from across the country.
