The handover took place in Eldorado Park Extension 2, 4, and 6 on March 27 right before the Easter holidays.
Sisterhood Foundation SA has been doing this Easter Cheer drive for the last four years, to spread a little love, kindness and cheer to children as a reminder that they are not forgotten but loved so very much.
”Yes I know that to many this is not essential, but having seen the happiness and smiles it brings we have made these drives a must as we believe it helps comfort these children in difficult situations and during life challenges. I am a firm believer that together we can do more,” said Mcpherson.

Sisterhood Foundation SA is a locally based non-profit organisation, in Eldorado Park. The foundation started initiatives like the Easter egg drive for kids in safe homes, foster care, and GBV centres.
They also hand out Easter Eggs to children in hospitals, especially Cancer Wards. The aim is to inspire and bring hope to the youth in local communities and to connect with youth from both advantaged and disadvantaged family backgrounds.
Local centres built by women in the community benefited the most from this drive as they received not just Easter eggs but also stationery.
Danielle Jacobs who together with Carol-Ann Swartz owns the Chedley Danielson Future Stars Academy had this to say, “I feel very grateful for this Easter egg handouts because sometimes we hear people say they will come to us and hand out Easter eggs but never come. I’m also grateful just to see the smiles on my kids’ faces forgetting that it’s just two Easter eggs.”
