@ecoDesigns Clothes Drive 001
Today, we started our 2019 Clothes Drive and we collected 11 Pants, 11 T-Shirts and 03 Shoes. As mentioned in our 2019 Plan of Action, our goal is to collect more than 5000 garments from the "Haves" and redistribute them to the "Have Nots". Our target is to reach out to more than 1000 prisoners, orphans, internally displaced personsand poor people and offer them these garments in a bid to improve their health and wellbeing.
We have already distributed 09 Garments to two persons who were happy recipients and appreciated our work and the donors.
