Non-Monetary Donations

At the Phronesis Student Development Trust, we believe that every contribution can make a difference—especially when it comes to giving new life to pre-loved items. Your gently used belongings can support underprivileged students in ways you may not even realize. By donating, you help us provide students with the essentials they need to succeed.

What You Can Donate
We accept a variety of pre-loved items that are in good, usable condition. Here’s how your contributions can help:

• Clothing & Footwear
  Equip students with proper attire for school and extracurricular activities. Whether it's uniforms, shoes, or seasonal clothing, your donations can help students feel confident and prepared.
• Books & Educational Materials
  Give the gift of knowledge! By donating gently used textbooks, study guides, and educational resources, you can help build a foundation for students who lack access to these materials.
• School Supplies
  From backpacks to notebooks, pencils, and calculators—basic supplies are essential for a student’s success. Your pre-loved school supplies can be a lifeline for those who can’t afford them.

How to Donate

• Step 1: Check Condition Ensure the items are in good condition and can still be used. Please, no broken or damaged items.
• Step 2: Pack & Label Carefully pack your items and, if possible, label them by category (clothes, books, electronics, etc.) to help us distribute them efficiently.
• Step 3: Drop Off or Arrange Pickup You can either drop off your donations at our dropoff zone or alternatively, contact us to arrange a pickup if you're unable to deliver them:
  • Email: donations@phronesis.org.za
  • Phone: +27 81 207 7135

Why Pre-Loved Items Matter Recycling your gently used items not only benefits the students in our programs but also promotes sustainability. By choosing to donate instead of discarding, you’re reducing waste and extending the life of products, all while making a direct impact on students in need.
