About Charity Begins With Me:

My name is Stephan and I started this page because I am on a mission to make the world a better place. My Story:

I have always been involved in charity work but it was only after I was diagnosed with leukemia in 2013 that I decided to really get my hands dirty. The idea of death did not scare me, but I knew I wanted to leave behind something worth rememberi

ng before I officially kicked the bucket. Because we are not a registered NGO we do not work with money. Each month we select a big project or two and then we collect various items we can use to make a difference in the lives of those who need it the most. Previous Projects:

- Collecting baby food for a baby shelter
- Collecting dog / cat food for rescue organisations
- Baking cupcakes for old age homes
- Collecting stationery / books / toys / clothes
- Cooking meals for the homeless
- Putting together food parcels for families in need
- Massive coin collections
- Etc. Look out for updates on this Page and help us collect – get your friends involved, or just spread the word. We also often get together and are always in need of extra hands to make sandwiches, hand out goodies, etc. Because I have a full time job and I am always on the go I am very bad with taking phone calls, but feel free to SMS or WhatsApp me on 072 5933 866

A lot of people are reluctant to donate underwear because some charities have a no un**es policy.

This is a clothing item that so many people overlook and can be very expensive to buy. So don't be shy - send those unwanted bras and un**es our way and we will make sure they help someone in need.

If you want to buy something special and meaningful for Christmas this year, please consider a pack of pens, pencils, crayons, or even just a new eraser.

We cannot expect children to do well in school if they do not even have access to the basics.

I am collecting ANY new or used stationery so please clean out those school bags and office cupboards and donate what you no longer need.

Drop off in Fairland, JHB or send via Pudo.

Please WhatsApp if you can help.
