Future Roses Educare has been selected as the beneficiary of the 2024 Algoa Cares Charity Golf Day in East London.
Daily Dispatch Local Hero finalist Linda Beja opened the Future Roses Educare Centre in 2016 to give babies and children under the age of six the opportunity to grow up in a safe space.
It is situated in a house in the East London suburb of Quigney.
Funds raised at the golf day will go towards rent, as well as food, toiletries, and mattresses for the children in the care of Beja and her team.
“We are absolutely thrilled and grateful to have been chosen as the beneficiary of your donation drive! Your support means the world to us and the community we serve,” responded Beja when informed that her organisation had been selected as the beneficiary of the popular annual Algoa Cares Charity Golf Day in East London, which will be held on August the 2nd at the Olivewood Golf Estate.
Speaking to Algoa FM and the participants in the golf day, Beja said “your generosity and commitment to giving back to the community are truly inspiring, and we are honoured to be a part of it.
“We are excited to work together to make a positive impact in the lives of those in need”.
The Algoa FM team which visited Future Roses as part of the evaluation of the application were impressed by the difference it is making both in the lives of the children and the broader community.
“Mattresses are needed so the children who are living in makeshift shelters in the nearby bush are able to stay dry when there are storms, such as we have experienced recently” says Algoa FM marketing manager Lesley Geyer.
“For many, the meals provided at Future Roses are all the food they will get for the day.
“But what impressed the team most, is that the centre does not just care for the daily needs – they also provide early child education, giving them the start they need to escape the poverty trap they have been born into,” she says.
Bookings for the Algoa Cares East London Charity Golf Day can be made online through the Algoa FM website.
There are also opportunities for sponsors to both support Future Roses and raise their profile with the players on the day.
