Foschini supports efforts to restore women’s dignity

Chapter two of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution of South Africa says that everyone has inherent dignity and the right to have their dignity respected and protected. The Frida Hartley Shelter seeks to do just that – ensure that destitute women regain their human dignity and self-worth while under rehabilitation at the shelter.

As part of their socio-economic development contribution, Foschini has supported the Frida Hartley Shelter for the past three years and donated over R400 000, in support of their skills development programme for unemployed women who also receive psychosocial assistance, including counselling, while they seek job opportunities.

At the shelter, the women are accommodated for about three to six months, and in some cases, mothers are rehabilitated with their children, keeping the family unit together.

The Foschini beauty team also regularly offers their time to provide the women at the shelter with mini makeovers, including hair and nail treatments, boosting their confidence and helping them feel empowered and valued.

Empowering women is at the heart of everything Foschini does. The donation to the Frida Hartley women’s shelter reflects their unwavering commitment to creating a future where every woman has the support and resources she deserves to thrive.
