Mandela Day | Dignity Bags
This Mandela Day, we're packing 499 (hopefully more!) dignity bags for patients who arrive at public hospitals with nothing — no soap, no toothbrush, no towel of their own.
R67 covers the essentials in one bag: one rand for every year Madiba gave to public life.
What we need Toothpaste | Toothbrush | Soap | Shampoo | Face Towel | Carry Bag | Deodorant | Vaseline
Where we are so far
- R335 raised, with R42,340 still needed to reach all 499 bags
- 499 magazines donated by Media24 to go into the bags
- 3 bags fully funded — 496 to go
Can't give money? Give toiletries — every item helps fill a bag.
For delivery: choose the Centurion Mall pickup point (Gauteng) or Brackenfell pickup point (Western Cape), or contact us at growth@hospivision.org.za
Men's Mental Health Month: A Look Back
In South Africa, men face unique pressures. Cultural expectations around masculinity often promote the idea that men should be strong, self-reliant and emotionally reserved. Many are expected to provide financially, support extended families, and navigate unemployment, poverty, violence and social inequality while appearing unaffected. These pressures can take a significant toll on mental health.
