Why donate clothes?

What you no longer need may still be useful to someone else.

Clothing that is still clean and usable does not need to become waste simply because it no longer fits your life.

YUVA’s clothes donation initiative collects reusable clothing and helps move it towards people and organisations that can put it to practical use.

Donating also offers households, companies and community groups a simple way to combine responsible reuse with practical community support.

Give it another life
Before something becomes waste, ask whether it could still become useful to somebody else.

Clothing donations can support people facing financial difficulty while extending the useful life of garments that might otherwise be thrown away.

How to donate

Four simple steps.

01
Sort Go through clothing you no longer need and select items that are still suitable for reuse.
02
Clean Make sure donated clothing is clean and ready to be handled and redistributed.
03
Pack Place the clothes securely in bags or boxes so they can be transported and stored properly.
04
Drop off Bring your packed donation to YUVA’s Head Office in Port Louis.
