Parlock, KwaZulu-Natal

The Wayne Mathew Naidoo Foundation recently delivered smiles and nourishment to 28 children at the Lakehaven Child & Youth Care Centre. Along with essential supplies, the foundation provided groceries to sustain the home and treated everyone—including the five caretakers—to a delicious pizza feast


East London

We recently stepped in to help the Helping Those in Need organisation in East London with essential groceries. This incredible organisation not only provides a safe haven for 18 abused and abandoned children but also serves over 5,500 meals monthly to men, women, children, and the elderly across East London who cannot provide for themselves.
When they called for help on social media, we were proud to answer. Together, we’re ensuring they can continue their essential work.
