<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Foundation was set up in 2014 as a registered<\/strong><\/strong> grant making charity to work with quality charities focused on making a real difference to people lives across a range of needs. Our first donation was received in April 2015 followed, in July 2015<\/strong><\/strong>, with <\/strong>our first grant to Tiger Kloof, a township school in Vryburg, South Africa, to fund the installation and operation of wifi which has transformed teaching and learning at this impressive institution.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
