Spreading the Magic of Christmas, One Stocking at a Time

Spread joy and warmth this Christmas by donating stockings filled with critically needed items to vulnerable children across our community. With every stocking you purchase and fill, a child in need—whether in an orphanage or hospitalized—will receive the gift, bringing a smile to their face and joy to their heart.

But the magic of Christmas doesn't stop there! We're also empowering unemployed individuals in our community by training them to craft each stocking. Through our skills and empowerment program, we're helping the makers of these stockings find opportunities for growth and stability.

Goals:

  • Provide Christmas stockings to vulnerable and hospitalized children.
  • Upskill and empower unemployed individuals by training them to create these stockings.
  • Bring the community together and spread Christmass Joy

How It Works

Make a difference this Christmas with Stockings of Hope. Choose between a small stocking (R30) or a large stocking (R50), each lovingly handmade and ready to be filled with an item from our critical needs list for orphanages or hospitalized children. We will then collect your donation and deliver it to orphanages and hospitals, spreading joy to children in need.

What makes our initiative unique is that each stocking is handcrafted through our skills and empowerment program, which provides valuable training in stitching to the homeless and unemployed in our community.
