Here Are Some of Our Most Recent Projects

Family Health Days

Every Year

Over three annual events in Tembisa and broader Gauteng, we invested approximately R18 million (USD 1 million) to deliver holistic, preventative healthcare — including screenings for HIV, TB, vision, diabetes, & more — to underserved communities. With over 3,000 people screened, participants saved an estimated R1,200 per person in early detection and treatment costs, reducing emergency visits and long-term health burdens. Every screening was more than a check-up; it was a step toward dignity, wellness, and financial relief for families who might otherwise go without.

Nutrition for Education

2021

In response to the devastating effects of childhood malnutrition, we launched our Nutrition for Education initiative. With over R2 million raised, we delivered fortified Nkosi Superbars to ECD centres, helping children gain the nutrition they need to learn, grow, and thrive. For many, this was the first step toward a healthier, brighter future.

Rotary Community Corps – Thembisa

2022

To build long-term impact from within the community, we launched the first Rotary Community Corps in Thembisa. This grassroots initiative empowers local leaders to create youth-led programs in sports, arts, and education. The Corps continues to give youth a safe space to grow, express, and develop purpose.

Community Garden Equipment Handover

2023

We donated essential gardening tools to the Thembisa Rotary Corps, helping establish a sustainable food garden led by community members. More than just food security, this project cultivates ownership, responsibility, and pride, transforming a patch of land into a symbol of hope and resilience.

Sechaba Food Sharing Project

2021

During the height of COVID-19, we joined hands with Rotary Morningside and international partners to provide food relief to vulnerable families. Over 141 food hampers were delivered to Diepsloot’s Sechaba Support Project, offering immediate nutrition and a reminder that no one is forgotten.
