The vehicles that we have at Hearts of Hope are not only used to carry the children to school and extra-murals and outings, they are also used for collecting donations and delivering coffee.
The coffee is one of the income generators for the children's home. We have partnered with a coffee roastery and have launched an online shop on our website for people to order. We offer delivery in the Johannesburg area and Bra Joe, our driver, is often seen driving around with various coffee orders. Have a look at our website and see what we can offer a discerning coffee snob.
The other use of the car, is when individuals or corporates contact us with donations in kind, that they cannot drop off themselves. Bra Joe drives all over collecting clothes, food, furniture and anything that might be donated and is useful for the children's home.
Thank-you to all who have supported this transport project - it has been our biggest generator of funds on GlobalGiving. We haven't managed to fully cover the costs of the new vehicles, but the fund have gone a long way towards helping.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you can receive an email when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports without donating.
