Your Spring Clean can help Third World Countries in Africa
Spring is now in the air and it is that time of year when we refresh our wardrobes, pack away our winter woollies, and get out our summer wear out for the months ahead.
If you’re thinking of clearing out and bagging up those bits that you never really fell in love with, and are planning to sort out some of the kids gear that you know won’t cut it when they return to class in the Autumn, or simply have a yearning for more free space in the wardrobe, why not keep your local charity shop in mind?
The Self Help Africa Northern Ireland shop in Ballynahinch would welcome any contributions of worn but not worn out goods, and can find them a second home while raising much needed funds for its development projects in Africa.
Gerard Magee, Head of Retail, Self Help Africa Northern Ireland, said: “For every £30 that is raised by the local shop on Main Street in Ballynahinch, it provides enough to set a rural poor family in Africa on the path to self-sufficiency.
“We’re always looking for stock, so if you have a bag of clothing, some unwanted toys or other goods, or have books, bric-a-brac or other bits and pieces that you’d like to find a new home for, please keep us in mind,” said Gerard.
Self Help Africa raises hundreds of thousands of pounds each year through its shops network to support its efforts to eradicate hunger and poverty, every year.
Self Help Africa is currently implementing development projects in 17 countries across the globe.
The organisation is one of Ireland’s leading overseas aid organisations.
