There is a brighter future for inner-city children living in the Quigney area of East London thanks to funds raised through the 2024 Algoa Cares Charity Golf Day hosted with Meyers Motors, ISUZU.
The beneficiary was Future Roses Educare, which supports parents who cannot afford to pay for childcare services and early childhood development.
The funds raised at the charity golf day were used to purchase a range of items, including an alarm system with the next two years’ monitoring paid in full; mattresses courtesy of Midlanes & Sealy, lunch boxes, activity books, art kits, toys, a freezer, laptop, and a stove.
“Once again the East London business community and golfers have made a difference in people’s lives by opening their hearts and wallets to a local charity,” says Algoa FM marketing manager Lesley Geyer.
“By investing in programmes and tools that foster growth and development, these contributions will empower the children and provide them with the hope and support they need to break the cycle of poverty,” says Nomlindo Beja, founder of Future Roses Educare in Quigney, East London.
“Every item purchased is a step toward transforming their lives and creating a foundation for a better tomorrow.”
Educational supplies, books, and technology will create opportunities for learning and personal development, helping the children build a brighter future, she says.
“On behalf of Future Roses Educare and the children we serve, I extend our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you who participated in our golf day.
“Your presence and generosity have not only made the event a success but has also brought hope and joy to the children under our care.
“Thank you for your kindness, and compassion, and for taking the time to play a role in changing lives. We truly couldn’t do this without you!”
