Local All Woman Charity Donates To Orphans And Elderly In Lüderitz

The Buchters Women Charity Organisation has kicked off 2009 with several donations to elderly members of the local community.

The group is a recent initiative set up by Wienda Van Wyk in an attempt to give something back to her community and comprises of 33 members, all female. Each member donates N$100 to the charity each month and the accumulated money is then used to buy food and clothing for a vulnerable member of the Lüderitz community.

“Last month we were able to donate food to two of our elderly people” says an energetic Van Wyk, “we’re now collecting for Februarys donation and we’re also looking at doing a town clean up to get rid of all this litter that’s lying about”.

It is refreshing to see a group of this nature, particularly an all women group, forming within Lüderitz, keep up the good work.
