Fashion for charity High Tea

ABOUT

It was said by the profound Nelson Mandela that :

"Children are our greatest treasure. They are our future."

Steering this philosophy forward are hundreds of children's orphanaged throughout the country, that use every resource that is availed to them, no matter how small, in order to take care of helpless children and help build a better future for them.

One of these special orphanages is Malaika (Angel) Orphanage Centre. This is a community based initiative that was formed in 2005 in Mpumalanga, but has now extended to Hillbrow in Johannesburg CBD. Malaika is a centre that prides itself in taking care of children who are or were previously affected by HIV/AIDS, abandoned, poverty stricken or even neglected. These children are all given a home full of warmth and love by the house mothers in order to aid in improving the state of their lives. Furthermore, the centre also provides the children living in the shelter with emotional and psychological support as well as with the necessary basic educational tools in order to secure their future. This shelter relies solely on donations from  individuals, private companies, volunteers as well as a small amount of government assistance in order to keep it running accordingly. Due to Malaika operating for quite a few years and by housing so many children, their facilities have suffered a great strain. They have not been able to attain enough funds in order to improve the state of the house that they live in which has resulted in them currently living in a run-down flat in Hillbrow with broken windows, garbage, rats and filth. The children also often get sick due to the appalling living conditions with no secure play grounds. This highlights that they are in desperate need of a new home.

In light of this, Fashion Outreach is excited to host a Fashion for charity themed high tea on the 11th of November. This event is aimed at raising funds that will go towards finding a bigger and better home for the children at Malaika. Funds will be raised through ticket sales, raffles, auctions as well as donations given by you. The only way that we can help in making a difference in these children's lives is by your participation and kind donations. By joining us at this high tea, you can prepare to devour in a scrumptious menu, receive the latest on summer fashion tips, shop for fashion pieces and other essentials in order to achieve the best look as well as receive words of wisdom from our two guest speakers. So come dressed in your stylish attires and wear your best headwrap for fun afternoon filled with class and leisure.
