The Ithemba Collection has been designed and developed by African Memories for the main purpose of raising much needed funds for Operation Hunger, a South African charity. Their mission is to create partnerships between vulnerable households and caring people to combat malnutrition which, when suffered especially by children, undermines the nation’s health, education and economic potential. As such, Operation Hunger concentrates its efforts in marginalized communities serving “the poorest of the poor”.
This collection consists of 6 figurines depicting African rural children and finished in cold cast pewter with hand painted details. Each piece comes individually boxed with a ‘thank you’ note from Operation Hunger enclosed. The Ithemba Collection is priced well below its true value and makes an ideal and meaningful gift item .
