According to Matthews Mogafe, the chairman of the funeral home, they adopted the centre after Mirriam Ndebele, the centre manager reached out for help in order to house children living with disability in the community.
“When we vistied the centre, it wasn’t a pretty sight, so it was up to us as a business to make a decision to help.
“The children were housed in zinc sheet structures without any stimulation equipment.
“So we had to start afresh and acquire land for them, build a structure and get the necessary equipment for the children.
“Through the golf day we sought to raise funds to complete three more classrooms and to erect an admin block,” he says.
Ndebele says she is grateful for the assistance they’ve received from the funeral home to bring dignity and respect to the lives of the 80 children at the home.
