Lokk Twists

We are so close to completing construction on the first women's shelter for … Rae-Anne Holloway needs your support for Building Ghana's First Women's Shelter

10/12/2020

Would you like to help us support our community and the ladies who make our Lokk Twists this Christmas.

Happy Friday! While we are getting closer every day to completing our women's shelter, we continue, as we always have, to do as much as we can to support other people in need.

This year has been more difficult than most for families in Ghana due to lockdown restrictions. There is no such thing as Government support and most people rely on daily money to feed their families, which they need to go out and work to earn.

We want to do something special for families in the Town Council Line Community as that is where our family lives as well as most of the people who help us with the shelter.

We are planning a community feast, if you look through our older photos, we did something similar in a community in Tema where we helped feed 1200 children. It was a very humbling event and the emotions we felt that day, stay with us 10 years later.

We would love to feed as many people as we can, so we are planning on asking our sisters and aunties to cook up a huge feast and distribute food packs to families in the community.

We have worked out that $10 will feed a family of four, so it's not expensive but every donation will go a long way.

If you want to give the Gift of Hope this Christmas please join us in sharing food with people who need it. As always, every dollar raised goes directly to people in need as we pay all of our own administration costs.

We are planning to start with $400 of our own money but thought we'd throw it out there to see if our community would like to join us in sharing love and food this Christmas and see how much we can raise and how many we can feed!

If you would like to make a tax deductible donation to this event and/or our shelter project, please click on the PayPal link above as Facebook don't take fees when we use this method. If you prefer we can give you our bank details for transfer.

Big love and hugs from us to you - Shanton and Rae-Anne

🌠🎉🎇CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!🎆🎉🌠

We have fundraised $6,551 for our charities Welcoming Australia and Aussieghana Relief! This has been an incredible experience and we are so excited for Cultural Night 2020!

Half of these funds will be used for running Welcoming Australia, a support network and space for people of refugee backgrounds and newly arrived migrants to Adelaide.

The other half will be used for purchasing resources to build Ghana’s first women’s shelter, protecting women and families from domestic violence.

None of this would have been possible without the generous contributions of our sponsors:
• Expert Education and Visa Services Adelaide
• StudyAdelaide
• Rotary Club of Adelaide
• Rotary Prospect

THANK YOU!

Thank you to all the volunteers who’ve contributed many, many hours to the event, thank you to all of our in-kind sponsors for your support, and thank you to all of the guests and attendees! 💞

BRAVO ADELAIDE! See you next year 😉

Hello friends. We have just received over 200 beautiful new Lokk Twists in two sizes, to suit all hair types and lengths.

For every three Lokk Twists you buy we will gift you one as a thank you.

We would love to give Ramatu the opportunity to make another large batch, so we are making this offer available while stocks last.

Lokk Twists are made in Ghana from African wax fabric, we pay better than fair trade rates and this project provides a sustainable income for women in the Town Council Line community. Currently we have enough orders to keep Ramatu busy but we’d love to increase our output and provide more women with a safe, ethical opportunity for work and a better future for themselves and their children.

Wholesale enquiries welcome. 🌀🌀🌀

Pm us for ordering and payment info.
