The Starfish Greathearts Foundation, an NGO that helps children in South Africa who are orphaned or vulnerable through HIV/AIDS, recently received assistance from Sandton-based JHI Properties.
The company’s sales and leasing brokers and staff led a campaign to support the charity where JHI donated R5 000 in cash while JHI staff packed Santa shoeboxes with toys, stationery and other useful items for the children in Soweto.
Starfish currently supports about 25 000 children through 50 community-based organisations.
The charity has permanent staff who work with local communities to better manage child protection, health and education support programmes for orphaned and vulnerable children.
Among other projects, Starfish supports the Ikageng community based care programme in Soweto.
