As part of our animal welfare outreach programme, Funda Nenja has a pop-up shop which stocks dog supplies for Mpophomeni township dog owners.
Every Friday afternoon we have a stream of customers looking for items that will help them take better care of their animals. By providing collars, leads, dog food, kennels, blankets, bowls etc at a nominal, affordable price, people are encouraged to be responsible, caring dog owners and to realise that having a dog goes hand in hand with some financial outlay.
Funda Nenja avoids, as much as possible, a culture of handouts and freebies which often results in a total dependence on such a system.
