Give the Gift of Warmth, Dignity, and Hope This Winter

This winter, as temperatures drop across South Africa, thousands of vulnerable individuals face the cold with no protection, no shelter, and no warmth. The need is urgent — and you can make a real difference.

We are proud to launch The Mahindra Rise – The Blanket Drive, in loving memory of our dear friend and Pink Loerie Committee Member, Ri-Han de Jager-Craven, whose passion for compassion continues to inspire. This initiative is presented in partnership with Fastway Couriers (our official logistics partner), ETC Pub Centurion, People of South Africa Foundation NPC, the charitable arm of We are South Africans, Ways of Walking Foundation, Maraai se Sop Kombuis and Friends, and Partners and Society NPC.

Each handmade quilt (150cm x 200cm) is carefully crafted to provide not just physical warmth but to restore a sense of dignity and humanity to someone in need. These are not just blankets — they are symbols of solidarity, stitched with care, and delivered with love.

Our goal is clear: 4,500 blankets for 4,500 lives. Every R200 donation provides a high-quality handmade quilt to someone who needs it most.

Whether you contribute one, five, or fifty, you are wrapping someone in compassion — and reminding them they are not alone.

We need your help to make this happen.

Your contribution brings warmth, dignity, and hope — one blanket at a time.

You can make a donation through Zapper: https://zapper.com/url/OjSq4DpK1r or via BackaBuddy: https://www.backabuddy.co.za/campaign/mahindra-rise-the-blanket-drive-pink-loerie

Let’s honour Ri-Han’s legacy by standing together. Let’s show that South Africans care deeply. Let’s warm hearts and homes this winter.

Thank you for giving. Thank you for caring.
