Robin Hood Foundation
The Robin Hood foundation is an NPO that was formed in 2007 and is run by a team of Trustees who all work on a voluntary basis. The Robin Hood Foundation aims to mobilize resources from businesses and individuals to poor grannies and needy mums in disadvantaged communities. The people that are helped are known personally by the church workers and all donations are handed directly into the hands that need them.
The Robin Hood Foundation has 4 major SED projects which run during the course of each year, namely:
- Gogo Bags: Supplying bags of groceries to grannies and orphan headed households.
- Child Headed Households: Assisting orphaned children affected by the Aids pandemic, who are caring for their siblings.
- Love the Babies: Supplying bags of unwanted and used baby clothes and goods to needy mums with new-born babies in poor Aids affected communities.
- Bless a Granny & Grandpa: Elderly “forgotten” folk at old age homes are given a wrapped gift at Christmas, Valentines, and Mothers & Father’s Day containing toiletries and treats and sweets.
This year, our focus is education and we will be running two new campaigns alongside our regular projects. Through our Learners 2 Leaders and Climbing for Classrooms #Buy-a-Brick, projects, we feel if we can begin to educate our youth and grow solid foundations from as early as possible, we can in fact change our children’s future and in turn our country’s future.
