Home receives donation

As part of an on-going corporate social investment, Abi soul ambassador of the central region, Mr Elvis Saohatse, donated 30 t-shirts to the children at Ubuhle Bezwe Care Centre recently.

Mr Saohatse has been supporting many worthy local projects, such as renovating schools and creches, clothing and gardening among others.

Mr Saohatse said he always wanted to help the most vulnerable and orphaned children in Tembisa.

“Since I have been helping out in uplifting the Tembisa community in 2001, I realised some children are struggling and are faced with poverty. The support we give these children, we are hoping it makes a beautiful example that will inspire all and will seek to improve other people’s lives. With so many initiatives taking place in the country, everybody is given an opportunity to make a difference,” said Mr Saohatse.

Mr Saohatse said it was not their first donation to Ubuhle Bezwe.

“We are trying to improve this care centre as it dominates a lot with orphaned children. It always feels good to contribute to the children’s lives. Their smiles when they receive the donated items gives me courage,” said Mr Saohatse.

Ubuhle Bezwe Care Centre founder, Ms Barbara Mthimkhulu, said they are thankful to have sponsors such as Mr Saohatse making a difference in the children’s lives.

“The children were excited when given the t-shirts. We appreciate everything they have done for us. We wish we could have many more Saohatse’s in the community who look out for the children,” said Ms Mthimkhulu.

Ubuhle Bezwe Care Centre caters for 62 children. It accommodates homeless, abandoned and orphaned children from the age of 0 to 18.
