Personal message
Humble Begininngs (HB) was started by myself, Gary Guppy Fraser, to assist victims of natural disasters, such as fire, flooding and wind damage, who lose everything.
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS have helped over the past year, 2023, 29 people, 4 families, we operate in the Sir Lowry's Pass area and mainly for the Sir Lowry's Pass Village itself. The village is one of highest unemployment areas in the Western Cape. We were also invovled in the floods that occurred in September 2023 where numerous households were affected.
We raise clothes, bedding, kitchenware, cleaning, hygiene products and food, through donations from our Local Community. We also raise funds by means of money deposited in the Charities Bank account and have options of monthly debit orders as well.
We store items until they are required and then package it up and personally deliver to the beneficiaries. We can only donate what we have and this is why I need the help to get items that we are short of to give to the benificaries.
We also help out other Charities in our area when we have to much of any particular item, in return they also help us when we need certain items if they have.
Every cent received is used for the beneficiaries. So all the money raised is used for HUMBLE BEGINNINGS. Our aim is to be able to supply building materials as well to enable the benificiary to start over in their own place as soon as possible.
