Founder Mike Teke said the foundation sponsors orphanages and old age homes around the country.
“Because I grew up in Kwa-Thema and had the opportunity to experience the depth of poverty in the area first-hand growing up, I promised myself that I will share the little I have with my community.
“At the beginning of lockdown, we decided to start a food parcel project to assist those in need.
“Every month since March we have been distributing food in and around Kwa-Thema.
“Some of the donations were made in the Vaal and Kriel areas.
“In April we also decided to make a contribution to the Ekurhuleni Food Bank in Springs,” he said.
Besides the food parcel project, the Masimong Foundation has been running one of their biggest projects since 2008 at Fred Habedi Primary School, where Teke attended school.
