Boxes of Blessings: Goedgedacht bringing HOPE and opportunity to rural children in the valley.
This festive season, we warmly invite you to join our Boxes of Blessings campaign, bringing hope to rural children in the Swartland community. For many of our Grade 1 and Grade 8 learners, the excitement of starting a new school year is overshadowed by the worry of not having even the basic supplies they need. But together, we can change that. Each box you give is more than just stationery and school essentials—it’s a gift of hope, dignity, and the joy of learning, accompanied by a heartfelt message of encouragement for each child.
For only R500, each Box of Blessings will include:
- Essential Stationery (notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers, rulers) to equip their minds and open the doors to opportunity
- A Lunch Box and Water Bottle to support their health and well-being.
- A Message of Encouragement and Hope to remind them they are valued, capable, and never alone.
Why This Matters So Deeply
In the rural Swartland, challenges are many—limited educational resources, scarce job opportunities, and high costs of living mean that many families struggle to make ends meet. For these children, not having the right supplies is a barrier that can feel insurmountable, holding them back from realizing their full potential. By giving a Box of Blessings, you are helping to remove this barrier, giving them the tools they need to learn, dream, and thrive. Your gift truly becomes a stepping stone out of the cycle of poverty.
Our Hope for This Campaign
Our dream is to raise enough support to provide Boxes of Blessings to 500 children across our POP Centres and the Riebeeksrivier Pre-school. With each box, we bring not just the essentials but a sense of confidence, joy, and possibility as they step into 2025.
