We feel very strongly that it is every person’s responsibility to make this world a better place. We all have the capacity to give, whether it is a warm smile, precious time or gifts.

We at Peas in a Pod have pledged to give in the following ways:

• We do not stock products that we know may be harmful to you or your baby
• We promote socially responsible products and advertisers on our site
• We regularly donate to carefully chosen charities

We're currently investigating ways to generate sustainable contributions that will empower the communities we support e.g. we have gorgeous products in mind and we hope to find a community who will manufacture them and who will benefit from 100% of the profits. Keep an eye out in our Shop - these products will have an "empowering people" label.

Here, too, we showcase and partner with others who are endeavouring to make a positive difference in the world: refer to the related articles in this section for more information

  • CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
Little Lambs continue to do amazing work in Du Noon, Cape Town and have something special for you in advance of Christmas: beautiful Christmas decorations that have been made by a group of HIV mommy’s who have a very limited income potential because of their HIV status. This little project empowers them to make a living and enables them to look after their own babies. The angels cost R20 each and the Christmas trees are R10 each. Order yours online now.
  • PLEASE DONATE YOUR OLD TEA BAGS TO BE MADE INTO CHRISTMAS ANGELS THIS CHRISTMAS

"A woman is like a tea bag, you only know how strong she is when she is put in hot water" - Eleanor Roosevelt

Original T-Bag Designs in Hout Bay, Cape Town need your old tea bags to help meet the demand for their tea bag angels this Christmas. Original T-Bag Design use dried tea bags to make handcrafted gifts.

In the case of the Christmas Angels, the dried tea bags are emptied of their tea leaves, ironed and made into angel decorations - a simple idea that goes a long way to creating jobs and help uplift the standard of living of people in Imizamo Yethu, Hout Bay. So the next time you have a cuppa, please remember to save, dry, empty and send it to Original T-Bag Designs, Unit 4, Kronendal Business Park, Main Road, Hout Bay, Cape Town, 7806.

Alternatively, you may like to donate a box of tea bags, available from your local supermarket for around R20, as we have done and Original T-Bag Designs will soak, dry and empty them themselves and turn them into angels.
