“We’ve elected to support the New Life Centre in lieu of corporate gifts again this year which our clients, suppliers and partners whole heartedly support,” says John Bowles, Joint MD at NAB. “We’re pleased to be able to make a contribution and know it will make a huge difference in the lives of these women.”
The New Life Centre was created by two exceptional women - Khopotso Nakin and Babalwe Makawula. With no money, no support and at great risk to themselves, these two angels regularly visit the ‘prostitute hotspots’ late at night and rescue young children from the clutches of drug lords who lock them in sleazy hotel rooms and sell them for a pittance.
The shelter is situated in Lombardy East and is home to around 15 girls who otherwise would be living on the streets. The house is fully furnished and has all the amenities to ensure that the girls have as normal a life as possible.
