She Matters 🤍 — There’s still time to give

We’re so encouraged by the support already shown for the She Matters Charity Drive at Southdowns Shopping Centre — thank you for showing up for Irene Homes.

If you’re popping into the centre, it’s easy to get involved. Look out for the collection boxes at Pick n Pay, Intrigue Boutique and Clicks.

You can donate:
• Non-perishable food items
• Toiletries (sanitary products, soap, toothpaste, etc.)
• Cleaning supplies

Every item makes a real difference in the daily lives of the ladies in our care.

Thank you for being part of a community that cares.

Irene Homes has been featured in the National Lotteries Commission 4th Quarter IMPACT Newsletter

It’s a privilege to see Irene Homes included among the stories of impact across South Africa. This feature offers a glimpse into the meaningful work taking place every day, made possible through care, partnership, and ongoing support.

We’d love for you to take a moment to read more in the NLC’s post below and celebrate this with us.

Thank you for being part of our journey and for helping us continue to restore dignity and create opportunity.

Cameleon Hope would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Gerda van Schalkwyk for hosting such an incredible event.
Gerda generously opened her home and her heart, creating a beautiful space to raise awareness for Irene Homes — a cause close to our hearts, as we work to support and fundraise towards ensuring a forever home for the wonderful ladies who live there.
Thank you, Gerda, for your kindness, passion, and dedication. And a very big thank you to all the attendees and the individuals who opened they're hearts and gave a donation. It was truly an unforgettable event.

A moment worth sharing

Yesterday at our St. Nicolas Workshop, the joy was in these shared moments—mixing batter, sharing smiles, and enjoying warm flapjacks together.

Moments like these remind us what matters—being included, being seen, and sharing in the small things that create a sense of belonging.
