SAVE Foundation 023

Liesl Daisley is a former victim of one of the worst situations in the world, when the man who supposed to love her decides she is his punching bag a la Chris Brown and Rihanna. Thankfully, she not only got out from the nightmare but rather than let the incident make her shy from Life she decided to use it as a means of moving forward and thus the SAVE foundation.

Ms Daisley explained the Foundation currently has only one facility to help women who find themselves in dire straits, and if companies want to know how they can help then using derelict offices or providing means to spruce up the formerly abandoned places would make the SAVE Foundation go further {CLICK ON FOLLOWING ICON FOR FULL AUDIO – TABLET OR SMARTPHONE USERS, PLEASE CLICK ON Ms Daisley’s NAME FOR THE AUDIO}
