MBABANE– The Endlini KaGogo Foundation has donated over 500 shoes to pupils of St Joseph’s Primary School in Mzimpofu.
The foundation has donated 510 shoes, which consisted of 210 school shoes and 300 casual shoes. Other items donated included clothes and 25 hats to benefit both day scholars and boarding pupils. The donation took place on Friday last week at St Joseph’s Primary School.
St. Joseph’s Primary School Head Teacher Ncedile Dlamini expressed gratitude for the generous donation received from the Endlini KaGogo Foundation. She acknowledged the school’s commitment to supporting vulnerable pupils by providing essential items such as shoes and uniforms, despite the challenges faced by their families.
With hope for a lasting partnership, Dlamini said, “We truly appreciate the kindness shown by the Endlini KaGogo Foundation and eagerly look forward to nurturing a long-term relationship, as our school and its pupils can greatly benefit from ongoing assistance and support.”
Endlini KaGogo Founder and Director Melusi Kunene emphasised that their mandate revolved around assisting Emaswati, working closely with constituencies and social workers, to identify individuals who require support. By focusing on the needs of vulnerable communities, the foundation was drawn to St. Joseph’s Primary School due to its inclusive approach to admitting children with disabilities. Kunene commended the school for its efforts in providing educational opportunities for pupils with disabilities and expressed the foundation’s dedication to addressing critical needs within the community.
Kunene acknowledged and expressed gratitude towards the individuals who partnered with Endlini KaGogo Foundation, enabling the organisation to continue making a positive impact in the community. He specifically extended heartfelt thanks to Manzini Regional Administrator Chief Gija for providing a car, which has greatly assisted the foundation in carrying out community services. Encouraging further support, Kunene urged interested donors to contact the organisation at 7861 4356, 7690 2259, and 7961 4356 to contribute to their ongoing efforts.
