Lanseria NPO get assistance on Mandela Day
LIV Village not only offers orphans a home they also strived to uplift surrounding communities by creating vital employment opportunities for families to sustain themselves.
Empact Group, situated in Sandton, contributed R200,000 to the LIV Village organisation in Lanseria, Randburg, in honour of Mandela Day.
This generous contribution will be directed towards various projects across the organisation, enriching the lives of the children and fostering a deep sense of community and belonging.
LIV is an NGO that provides orphaned and vulnerable children with loving residential care. Their original objective is to foster a caring atmosphere in which children may blossom, learn, and thrive, while simultaneously strengthening the local community through meaningful work opportunities. They sincerely aim to uncover the potential of every kid and nurture them into future leaders through a variety of heartfelt projects and programmes.
The Empactors were split into two teams of 50 people and travelled to the village over two days. They were given a tour, which highlighted the wonderful long-term foster care offered to orphaned kids.
They put on their work clothes and sanded and primed the palisade fence that encircled the village property, ready it for a colourful makeover. They enthusiastically took over the painting work on the second day. The fence came alive with bursts of colour in LIV’s distinctive colours, creating a lasting impression on the hamlet.
Le-anne Kleynhans expressed heartfelt gratitude to Empact Group for their selflessness and commitment in assisting them. “The painted palisade gate, a first for the village, promises to be a heartwarming surprise for the children, leaving a lasting impact on their community.”
Empact Group CEO, Alan Quinn explained the company’s involvement as part of their heartfelt ‘doing right by you’ philosophy. “We have a long-standing partnership with LIV Villages. It has been incredible seeing them grow and open new centres over the years in new regions. This year we had the privilege as an organisation to be included in their activities on Mandela Day. We are committed to doing our bit so that they can continue helping children who come from destitute backgrounds by creating a haven for them.”
