Community upliftment and social care

Within this week, the construction of the outside kitchen area for Nhlayiseko old age home had begun. The old age home currently supports 12 elderly community members who are in need of permanent care. The home also opens its doors during the day to anyone in need.
Glad, who is a qualified nursing sister at Nhlayiseko, has spent her entire pension fund on building this old age home, not for income generation, but to be able to give back to her community who were in need of care.
Well done to our Foundation!
