Things we collect

We very much appreciate your kindness and support, however, due to the number of people leaving the country we are a bit overwhelmed with donations and have no storage space for any more. We regret that we cannot accept any donations of fabric, bed linen or towels at this time.

Pre-loved or New Soft Fleece Blankets or Fabric

We use these to make colourful hoodies and track pants. The fleece blankets supplied to children onboard Emirates flights are ideal for this, in fact we have many Emirates blankets gifted to us directly from Emirates Airlines. Other fleece blankets obtained from local supermarkets would work too

New Underwear

New underwear for both girls and boys from ages 2-3 yrs and up to 15-16 yrs. We are always in need of girls underwear, ages 12-16 yrs old for our Angel Wings (reusable sanity pads) kits.

New soap bars

Any kinds of soap bars are acceptable, including hotel or store-bought soap bars. Please note: Only new, unused soap bars are used to add to our Angel Wings (reusable sanitary pads) kits.

Shower curtains

This may seem like a strange one, but we use shower curtains to add a waterproof layer to our Angel Wings© (reusable sanitary pads).  We find that the cheapest IKEA shower curtain works very well for this purpose.

Accessories such as hairbands, headbands, bracelets, etc. make for nice gifts to add to the packages we send.
