What is this bursary about?

Purple Bandage Members are passionate about empowerment, and the best way to empower the youth is through education. With that in mind, Purple Bandage has embarked on their latest project. The aim is to help successful candidates to receive a well-rounded, holistic education. This is the first ever School Bursary opportunity valid for the 2019 academic year. 

The Purple Bandage team has been a proud host, supporter and partner of the Salaam Foundation and Salaamedia #Riding4SAeducation campaign as it reached the Roshnee leg of its journey. 

The Purple Bandage team officially welcomed the riders at the entrance of Roshnee, together with a delegation from the Mayoral commitee, and a number of educational institutions  including iTutor students, and Roshnee residents. The procession then headed towards the Roshnee Islamic School where Purple Bandage along with other groups, including the Roshnee Islamic School, VMWF, and Roshnee Primary School and  held an informative event. The Guest of honour was the Mayor, who pledged his support for the campaign. Purple Bandage is a proud partner of the initiative to donate 9 bicycles, and boxes of libaray books to the campaign. Azhar Vadhi accepted a number of donations from the Roshnee community. The Roshnee event was headed by Miriam Chamda who handed over the books to the  #Riding4SAeducation Team 

The campiagn got off to a rolling start from the border town Musina in the Limpopo province. Two cyclists and directors at Salaam Foundation, Azhar Vadi and Zaheer Pahad the first leg of their journey reaching Louis Trichard in just over five hours. They plan to cycle a total of 3000km finally ending at Cape Point in the Western Cape.

A lovely opportunity to earn continuous reward by sponsoring a shady fruit-bearing tree.

The benefits of more trees are vast, and among these benefits are the important ones such as:
●Trees clean the air,
●They provide oxygen,
●Trees will help cool down our town,
●They help save water
●They are beautiful markers of changing seasons.
●Trees will attract more diverse bird and insect life, and most importantly,

Winter: shorter days, longer nights.. For many of our people out there, this is the time of year that they dread the most due to their inability to be able to keep themselves and their loved ones safe and warm from the fast-dropping temperatures... And so, it's that time of the year again for us to open our hearts and help to warm bodies and win hearts! Purple Bandage has embarked on its yearly #WinterWarmYourHeartCampaign.

Help us to help others by sponsoring a blanket for just R70.
By the grace of the Almighty and with YOUR generosity, over 2000 blankets have been distributed over the last two years to 2000 needy souls. This means 2000 more people have been able to keep warm because of you! Help us to help many more people this year.
Blankets will be distributed to needy recipients in and around the Vaal area.

The Purple Bandage team along with Al Imdaad Foundation returned recently from a trip to the Turkish and Syrian border. The group  included businessman, individuals from other organisations,a representative from Al Imdaad Foundation and Purple Bandage who simultaneously  describe this trip as  a humbling and traumatic experience.

"Witnessing the conditions that our muslim brothers,  sisters and children of Syria are facing on a day to day basis just for Survival brings tears to ones eyes,  and this is  just the condition  of the refugees  who fled to Turkey. The question that lingers in ones mind is what and how much worse off is the conditon of the innocent civilians that are left inside Syria?" , expressed one of the team members

Volunteers from Roshnee, including members of Purple Bandage, hosted the Open Day at the Mandela Clinic in the Tumahole township in Parys on the 3rd April 2016 in Free State.
