Join Epic Foundation and make a difference
Let’s start the new year by uniting to create positive change in the community.
As the new school year kicks off, learners are gearing up to fulfil their community service hours, and the Epic Foundation has a range of impactful options, allowing them to make a difference.
The Epic Foundation, an NPO with a vision to empower survivors of rape and abuse, can always do with more helping hands. If you want to make a positive difference in the community or to earn community service hours, there are various ways to support the foundation.
