Project Survivor
Aimed at survivors of sexual assault.
On average there are 80 woman raped each day in South Africa. The South African Police Services
are not able to cope with or fund any initiatives for these women. Often these women are the sole
breadwinners of the home, and with them in a vulnerable state of mind, there is a real risk that the family
will not be provided for, and also that the culprit will stay on the loose due to inadequate evidence.
Most of the evidence is contained on the woman's clothing, many of these women simply do not have other clothes to wear
and therefore the Police Service cannot take the clothes into evidence. Little Box Charitable Corp
are looking to provide a survival box, with a set of underwear, tshirt, small booklet on getting help (in all 11 official
languages) a small fruit juice for shock and small travel sized toiletry items the woman may require.
Each survivor box costs $50 and we aim to provide at least 150 boxes for the year 2008/2009.
