CSI Projects
Brick making Workshop At Freeway Ministries
PPC lends a hand to the Non-profit organisation, Freeway Ministries, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre based in Retreat, Cape Town. The centre focuses on drug and alcohol recovery programmes as well as skills training to provide a foundation for re-integration into society. PPC sponsored a brick making machine, buildings materials and hosts an annual brick making workshop for the centre and surrounding communities. The revenue generated from the sale of bricks is allocated towards supporting the ongoing operations and sustainability of the centre.
Gratitude Comments from beneficiaries at Freeway Ministries:
