Beauty Give Back — Women's DayCompleted
Cape Town, South Africa 22 August 2026

Beauty Give Back — Women's Day

Why? Turning beauty into solidarity: collecting beauty and hygiene products for vulnerable women and families.

The story: A beautiful moment of sharing alongside Renée de Wit and the Falling Forward Foundation. Entry was a beauty or hygiene product, and proceeds were donated. The day reminded us that beauty takes on its full meaning when it becomes a way to give back.

Community outreach in BonteheuwelCompleted
Bonteheuwel, Cape Town, South Africa 31 May 2026

Community outreach in Bonteheuwel

Why? Bonteheuwel faces gang violence, drug trafficking and insecurity. We came to meet families, listen to their stories and respond to immediate needs.

The story: A seven-year-old boy, after receiving a packet of chips, spontaneously shared part of it with another child who arrived later. Before we left, he told us: “Auntie, thank you for coming today. May God bless you and bless everything you do.”
