Evita's Crafters is a project started by The Darling Trust to provide space, resources and infrastructure to create needle-crafted items and ranges to be sold online as well as in-shop, thus developing a skillset and creating an income for the women involved.
The Darling Trust was founded in 2003 by Pieter-Dirk Uys, with the aim of assisting the community of Darling. Through these projects The Darling Trust holds true to their mission statement, "To empower individuals of the Darling community to help themselves through education and skills development."
The Darling Trust is a constant presence within the community, with other projects like free weekly music and art classes for children and the Early Childhood Development Centre, Evita’s Darlings, which has grown extensively since opening in 2010, now caring for over sixty preschool/Grade R learners.
The aim of these projects is to create a more inclusive community, with opportunities and access to healthcare, skills development an employment- regardless of their background.
In collaboration with Jacqui van Staden and the help of Darling Sweet, the Evita’s Crafters project has been revived and is truly a story of a community coming together to assist. Currently we have a team of 3 women, guided by Jacqui van Staden, creating Darling monsters and a line of other toys and creations.
