Donate with confidence when you give to TCB.

Every day, we witness incredible journeys - mothers and fathers acquiring new skills and lifting themselves and their families out of poverty, resulting in communities growing stronger. But these stories of change wouldn’t be possible without the support of people like you.

What does TCB need right now?

Money

It costs approximately R66 000 per person per year to offer our Resell, Repair and Remake programme. We recoup some of those costs when we sell our retail partner’s donated items, but not enough to fully fund our programmes. Your financial contribution can help more people benefit from our work.

Equipment

Our Repair programme needs small and large appliances (fridges, freezers, microwaves, dishwashers, TVs etc.) which we can use to demo repair skills and allow participants to practice on real equipment. Our Remake programme needs sewing machines, overlockers and any equipment used in the CMT and sewing industry.

Stock

Retailers and manufacturers, we need your excess product, customer returns, end-of-season stock, damaged goods, samples, fabric and other merchandise so that we can use your waste responsibly and turn them into small business opportunities in the circular economy. Discover our model here.

Different ways that you can make an impact

Your contribution, no matter the size, fuels our mission to empower individuals, especially women, to become self-sufficient and successful business owners. With your help, we can expand our reach, enhance our programmes, and create even more opportunities for those striving to build a better future for themselves and their families.
