Our special keyrings
Instead of just asking for money, we wanted
to create something that would be recognisable, useful and,
of course, sellable. Keyrings in the shape of our special
emblem seemed to be a good idea, and it was a matter of finding
the right person to make them. Deciding it would be great
to support somebody in need, Leanne was off to the robots.
The first person to approach her, turned out to be the man
for the job. He made a sample, and we were in business.
The keyrings have been a "hand to mouth" scenario.
We buy; then sell like mad, and as soon as the money has been
collected we are on the phone to Chris, "keyrings pronto
pronto!". Chris is the man behind our keyrings. Sometimes
he works through the night making every single house himself.
If you would like to buy keyrings, please
contact us.
The man behind our keyrings
Chris is 23 and lives in Dunoon, an informal
settlement near Table View. Before he started making Home
of Hope beaded keyrings for a living, he was sleeping on the
floor of a shack with many other people. He is now able to
afford a bed and a place that he shares with one other person.
Chris is a happy man who is very appreciative of the work
Home of Hope has given him.
Home of Hope has also created hope for Chris.
Not only did his living conditions improve, but now he can
also start saving money to help him find his 18 year old sister
to care for her. After all, it is no coincidence that his
name is Chris, the name of the first baby at Home of Hope,
and the reason for the establishment of our organisation.
