The Collen Mashawana Foundation has handed over a new home to Vincent Kgabo in Hammanskraal, giving him a fresh start and restoring his sense of dignity. The initiative reflects the foundation’s ongoing commitment to uplifting communities and creating lasting, positive change.
In a heartwarming display of community upliftment, the Collen Mashawana Foundation has handed over a brand-new home to Vincent Kgabo, marking a significant step towards restoring dignity and security for the beneficiary.
The handover, held earlier this week, saw the foundation provide Kgabo with a fully furnished house, offering a stable environment that will transform his day-to-day life. Speaking at the event, Collen Mashawana emphasised the importance of not only providing material support but also empowering individuals to feel valued within their communities.
Kgabo, visibly moved by the gesture, expressed his gratitude. He described the new home as more than just a shelter, calling it a “place of hope and fresh beginnings.” The foundation’s intervention highlights how targeted philanthropic efforts can have lasting impacts on families and individuals, particularly in areas where access to adequate housing remains a challenge.
Over the years, the Collen Mashawana Foundation has quietly built a reputation for meaningful community development, ranging from housing initiatives to educational support programmes. The Hammanskraal project serves as a reminder of how local initiatives can create real change when guided by compassion and accountability.
