More than R250k to charity this November
A Muslim community organisation donates to local and international charities twice a year.
Muslim community organisation Crescent Lifestyle donated R251 118 this November to various charities operating on the West Rand.
Uplifting the community is top priority to them. Early in November five organisation operating on the West Rand, other parts of Johannesburg and nationally benefited from Crescent Lifestyle’s donations, handed over during a ceremony. This is the second payout this year. The organisation aims to connect, benefit and support its members with religious and lifestyle information, discounts and other benefits.
