The foundation also has a mobile library as well as a programme that helps look after people in old age homes.
The hefty donation is invaluable for the foundation, which is solely dependent on the generosity of the public and fund-raising through gift wrapping.
“It means a lot to us to get this donation,” says Daleen Havenga from Edu-Care.
“It helps us immensely, and the money will be used for stationery, school uniforms, books and bags.”
The foundation mostly works with children in the foundation phase, and has been doing this for eight years.
