Raising Funds For Jes Foord Foundation
The Jes Foord Foundation relies on donations from companies and individuals who have the urge to bring hope to hundreds of people going through the harrowing aftermath of rape.
When you give of your time or money to the Jes Foord Foundation, you are not only helping to educate people about the very real problems of rape but you are also helping to revolutionise the way rape victims are counselled, a revolution that is long overdue if they are to become rape survivors. Helping them regain something priceless - their dignity and self-esteem.

Stressing the importance of community service, Clifford Campbell emphasized the importance of getting businesses involved with the various charity organisations to help make it a continuous effort.
"Most of us want to get involved in community service and often we do not know how." Clifford Campbell told The Bugle, "Garden Court and Liberty Life are committed to our role to support and motivate everyone to help those less fortunate. We want to stress that this is not a once off event. This is an ongoing effort to get everyone involved with local charities."
