Buy a brick and help Hirsch’s build a brighter future

PURCHASE a brick for R50 and help Hirsch’s improve the lives of the children of Mount Moriah Educare Centre and Pre-School near Phoenix.

Every year, Hirsch’s takes on a project, usually a home in one of the communities in which they operate, and carries out a makeover to help turn the lives of the occupants around. This year, they scoured KZN for a suitable project, and found the most deserving candidiate was Mount Moriah Educare.

There is no government funding for the school and the over 200 children, ranging in age from 18 months to 5 year olds, are being cared for in make shift containers, with dismal toilet and kitchen facilities.

Hirsch’s plan is to build a formal pre-school and day care centre, a library, ablution blocks and community centre on the site. Sarah Brauns from Hirsch’s Hillcrest said, “Hirsch’s KZN Action Team who will be managing the project already have all the necessary backing from the local councillor as well as the community at large. ”

The Phoenix Child Welfare who has a close relationship with the Mount Moriah Centre will be overseeing the centre. The community centre will also be the focal point for entertainment, in a warm, social environment, bringing a sense of belonging to the elderly as well as the youth.

Hirsch’s is also collecting children’s books for their “home makeover” project. Any old children’s books, can be dropped off with Jennilee Naidoo at Hirsch Ballito. Contact her on 032 946 7400.

Payments for the bricks can be made at any Hirsch’s Store or contact Warren on warren@hirschs.co.za. Your name will be printed on the brick/s you purchase.
