Foundation Raises Funds for Soweto Matrics
Story 1
The Nhlanhla Tshabalala Foundation is raising funds to provide 100 solar lights to matric learners from disadvantaged schools and informal settlements in Soweto.
The lights will help learners study after dark where access to electricity is limited, giving them more time and better conditions to prepare for exams.
Funds will be raised through the foundation’s 10th anniversary charity golf day and gala dinner at Soweto Country Club in Pimville on 28 August.
The foundation is marking a decade of community work with the drive, under the theme “Leaving no child behind."
