A look back on some incredible highlights from this year so far! 💚

We are so grateful for all the support! None of this is possible without you!

There are still many more mountains to climb before the year is up, and we look forward to facing them together ⛰️

The story behind the 365 Dignity Project 💚

We are still actively raising funds to get these dignity packs to the women who need them most so please consider supporting us. R365 can go a long way when we join together collectively!

Many of you followed along and supported the 8849 Project, where for every kilometer climbed on Everest, a bra was donated to support GBV victims.

This year, we were able to distribute those bras to the women who needed them.

During one of those handovers, our team went to meet the girls. It was a moment we will never forget. Their appreciation overwhelmed us, and their stories moved us deeply. But something that stayed with our founder, Angela Yeung, was a simple request: “Please, we need underwear too.”

Underwear. How many of us take that for granted? It’s just an everyday part of our lives, something we don’t even think about. Yet for survivors who have had their dignity stripped from them, underwear, something so small, means more than we could ever fathom.

There was no big plan. Just a knowing, in that moment, that we needed to make it happen. And so the 365 Project was born.

R1 a day. R365 a year. Dignity packs and underwear for women rebuilding their lives.

We are grateful and excited to share that Angela Yeung has safely completed her climb of Mount Elbrus!

For many, the news that she was summiting came as a surprise. One post, and suddenly she’d reached the top! There was a reason behind this.

Climbing a mountain is, as you might expect, a deeply challenging thing to do. Many dangers accompany it, as we’ve seen from tragic news in recent months. So a big part of her energy went into making sure she was well prepared, and giving her all to returning safely, sharing updates whenever she had signal, which on a mountain is limited.

Knowing the person Angela is, this wasn’t just a climb for a climb’s sake. As we’ve shared, this climb had one purpose: raising awareness for survivors of human trafficking, and advocating for their dignity. We’ll be sharing more on this throughout the month.

Though it’s a completely different set of challenges, those who have endured and are recovering from human trafficking face their own hidden climb, often with no support or cheering at each stage. We want to raise a banner, shout it from the mountains, and be a voice of support for them. We invite you to join us.

R365 is a small amount for many of us, but collectively it can be a force for change. Every R365 (R1 a day) goes toward dignity packs and their distribution to survivors of human trafficking.

THE MOUNTAIN. THE MEANING. THE MISSION.

Mount Elbrus rises 5,642 metres above the Caucasus. A dormant volcano covered in snow and ice, it demands respect.

But this climb was and is about more than reaching the summit.

The 365 Dignity Project was inspired by a simple request from girls rescued from human trafficking: “We need underwear.”

Something so basic, yet so important.

R1 a day. R365 a year.

Your contribution can help provide essential underwear and a little more dignity in everyday life.

It’s not about how much you give. It’s about making a small difference.

5,642 metres. One mountain. One meaningful mission.

Dear friends and family,

I had hoped to quietly head off to climb Mount Elbrus, 5,642m, without making too much of a fuss.

No big announcement. No countdown. No need to document every step.

But, as mountains often do, Elbrus found a bigger purpose.

Earlier this year, while the Impilo Collection Foundation was distributing bras to vulnerable communities, we met girls who had been rescued from human trafficking. They asked us for something so simple: new underwear.

Something most of us take for granted every single day.

That moment stayed with me.

So, somewhere along the way, this climb became about more than reaching a summit.

Today, I’m incredibly grateful to say: the summit has been reached. 🏔️❤️

And with it begins the 365 Dignity Project— R1 a day, R365 a year — to help restore something so basic, yet so important: dignity.

I didn’t need a cause to climb a mountain.

But climbing for someone else gives me a greater reason to climb.

I’ll share a little more of the journey over the coming days — the highs, the lows, and what this mountain has taught me.

If this cause resonates with you, I would be deeply grateful if you would support it, share it, or simply help us start the conversation.

What an incredible day of changing lives!

This week, we had the absolute privilege of placing 43 pairs of spectacles into the hands of young learners across Early Childhood Development centres and seeing the smiles that came with them was something truly special.

Following vision screenings of 133 learners, more than 32% were identified as needing corrective lenses. Thanks to this initiative, those children can now head back into their classrooms with clearer vision, greater confidence and new opportunities to learn and thrive. One learner has also been referred for specialist care, ensuring they receive the support they need.

These are the moments that remind us why we do what we do. A simple pair of glasses has the power to unlock a child's potential, and we couldn't be more grateful to Vision For All for partnering with Impilo to make this possible.

Here's to brighter futures, one child at a time.

What an incredible day handing over glasses in Alexandra with Vision for all Mobile Eye Screening.

Across 3 ECD centres we handed out 43 glasses to 43 students. This is not just about glasses, this is about children now being able to see the board clearer, learn better and build confidence. It’s about clearer futures.

We are proud of the work we have been able to accomplish together & look forward to all that’s to come!

mple pair of glasses can make a world of difference, helping children learn, play and thrive with confidence.

After screening 133 young learners across our Early Childhood Development centres, we're excited to be handing over 43 pairs of spectacles on 23 July.

Every learner received a vision screening, with over 32% identified as needing corrective lenses. One learner has also been referred for specialist care, ensuring they receive the support they need.

Thank you to Vision For All for partnering with Impilo to help make brighter futures possible! 👓

One year ago, history was made! climbed 8,849 metres of Everest, calling for one bra donation for every metre climbed in support of women affected by GBV.

A year later, we look back not only on the climb itself, but on everything that followed, including an exhibition at Constitution Hill, people from all over coming together to make it happen, and now those bras being distributed to the very women we set out to support and raise awareness for.

As we reflect on the journey, we also celebrate all that has been achieved in the year since. From one climb came a movement of action, awareness, and community.
