The Collen Mashawana Foundation has pledged long-term support to the Good Hope Foundation Centre, donating essential supplies and committing to empower over 100 learners through education.
The Collen Mashawana Foundation (CMF) extended a hand of support to the Good Hope Foundation Centre in Johannesburg on Monday morning, donating essential resources and reaffirming its long-term commitment to empowering children through education.
During the visit, the Foundation donated furniture, educational toys, food, and other vital supplies to assist the centre, which supports more than 100 learners from schools in Jeppestown, Troyeville, and nearby areas.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Collen Mashawana, Chairman of the CMF, emphasised the transformative power of education.
"Education is a source of pride and achievement that no one can ever take away. It is our collective responsibility to empower the next generation through learning and opportunity," he said.
Dr. Mashawana highlighted the deeper purpose of education, calling it the true foundation for personal and societal growth.
"The real power lies in knowledge—because through education, we gain awareness, understanding and the ability to shape our own future. Education is life," he added.
The visit was not just a once-off gesture. The Foundation announced its formal commitment to adopt the Good Hope Foundation Centre, ensuring sustained support and long-term empowerment for the children it serves.
This initiative forms part of CMF’s broader mission to improve lives through education, health, housing, and economic upliftment. By investing in institutions like the Good Hope Foundation Centre, the organisation aims to break cycles of poverty and inequality.
The Good Hope Foundation Centre serves as a safe haven and support hub for vulnerable learners, offering educational reinforcement, daily meals, and developmental activities. Staff and children at the centre welcomed the visit, describing the support as "life-changing."
