The founder of the foundation, Winnie Radebe said giving learners gifts makes each child feel special and guarantees that they are appreciated and well-cared for.
“We strive to ensure that our children have access to all the necessities, as lack and deprivation can often lead to undesirable behaviour.
“Many of the schools we donate to cater to learners from disadvantaged backgrounds, where unemployment is prevalent among parents.
“By providing for their needs, we aim to create a supportive environment that fosters their well-being and helps them thrive,” she said.
Radebe added that as a foundation they are committed to helping the young ones with the little they have, and they are grateful to all those who play a role in assisting them to provide for the learners.
