Greensleeves Place Of Safety
Greensleeves Place of Safety is a home that provides care for abused and abandoned children in the city of East London, Eastern Cape, South Africa. Run by a couple with no government funding, they support these children by providing housing, education, health care, and a loving and supportive environment through funds from organizations, donations, and volunteers alone.
EKB holds fundraising events to support Greensleeves. Everyone at the firm has been incredibly generous in their support to ensure that a cheque is sent at Christmas every year.
