Making a difference in children’s live

She donated boxes of clothes for men, women and children, and toys, shoes and bedding to the Benoni-based organisation.

Alexander is 22 years old and is studying a BCom in financial management through Unisa. She does not see the Miss Earth South Africa pageant as a mere modelling contest.

“Miss Earth South Africa is a leadership programme aimed at young women like myself,” explained Alexander. “The programme provides a platform for each of the contestants to make a difference to communities both socially and from a development perspective.”

She said she chose Oliver’s House as the beneficiary of the donations because the home portrayed values that she believed in.
