Project Hope- For People Living on The Streets

Mr Anthony Noble from Perisos Pottery was so excited when he could collect 14 aprons for his Pottery classes that he ordered from S&D Creations.

Staff from Loerie Bakery, Klein Brak River with their new aprons handmade by S&D Creations. Thank you to small businesses for supporting our sewing group who are going from strength to strength.

George Municipality’s Community development division has launched an initiative to empower people living on the streets of George through a skills development initiative. Two groups S&D Creations(Sewing) and A&A Jewellery Design are producing beautiful, handcrafted products – which include handbags, sling bags, indoor, and outdoor aprons for braaiing, jewellery – crafted using donated materials!

If you would like to help, George Municipality invites all residents to form a part of this amazing initiative. Help us to create more work opportunities for the homeless. Encourage people to get off the streets and rebuild their lives again.

Members of the public interested in purchasing any of the products are encouraged to visit the Community Development offices located on the corner of Varing and St John’s Street. Purchases can be made directly from the participants during their work hours, or customers can discuss their own design preferences and place custom orders. Apart from handbags and aprons, the sewing group also offers curtain production, clothing repair and alteration services.
