OUR OBJECTIVES
To Promote True Friendship
To Encourage the Ideals
of Personal Service
To Foster International Understanding
Any woman who shares the three central aims of International Inner Wheel can join the organisation. Members achieve these aims through Club events, which combine personal service, fund-raising, fellowship and fun, united by friendship and a common aim to serve the local community.
Members give practical support as well as financial help whenever there is a crisis, whether this occurs locally, nationally or internationally, for natural disasters or for people suffering in war-torn regions.
Happening Now
Spreading the love!
March 25 and 26th, 2025 The Love Quilt Project (TLQP) representative Jenni Knittig (née Woodend) and members of the Inner Wheel Club of Saldanha delivered a total of 194 quilts. 12 love quilts were given to foster children in Langebaan, and 69 to children in Mooresburg. The remaining quilts were distributed to foster children throughout the Western Cape.
The Love Quilt Project is a non-for-profit organization established in 2014 to provide educational and emotional support to at-risk children living in foster care in South Africa and the United States. Art squares containing messages of compassion, kindness, and love for children facing the challenges of foster care are created by school children. These messages of love are stitched into beautiful handmade quilts by volunteer quilters. The quilts are given to foster children along with a monetary donation to be used for educational services.
