Hand sanitiser units and thermometers have become a necessity for businesses, non-profit organisations and education centres who need these to be Covid-compliant and remain open and operational.<\/p>\n

Many non-profit organisations graciously receive donations in the form of food parcels, household items and clothing. The team at Mama\u2019s Alliance, a non-profit organisation, has made a plea for thermometers and hand sanitiser units for their centres.<\/p>\n

Mama\u2019s Alliance is a network of strong, reputable, independent and autonomous grassroots childcare organisations. With one common objective: to save more vulnerable children across South Africa from a hopeless future by providing them with a healthy, safe and stimulating environment for their continuous growth and development.<\/p>\n

Some of the organisations operating under the Mama\u2019s Alliance umbrella, like Kids Haven, were in dire need of protective equipment to remain open and operational.<\/p>\n

Electronics manufacturer, Hisense rose to the occasion and donated 778 infrared thermometers and 185 touchless hand sanitiser units to the Mama\u2019s Alliance group to the value of over R600 000. These units will be distributed to non-profit organisations countrywide and more so in the rural areas. The Hisense team together with comedian and Hisense brand ambassador, Weza Matomane, visited Kids Haven in Benoni for a handover ceremony.<\/p>\n

Weza took to the stage where he delivered an inspiring message to the children of Kids Haven. He encouraged them to aim high no matter where they are from and to follow their dreams. He shared his personal story and how he overcame his challenges as a child.<\/p>\n

The talented children of Kids Haven entertained the Hisense team and Kids Haven staff members with the Jerusalema dance and a gumboot dance. Weza, the Hisense team and Kids Haven staff members all joined in.<\/p>\n

Susan Daly fundraiser coordinator for Kids Haven said that this donation means that their Children\u2019s home and the community ECD centres they support will reach the Covid-compliance requirements easily \u201cThis donation excites us as we have partnerships with small community-based organisations through the Ekurhuleni Welfare Forum, and this allows us to share thermometers and hand sanitiser units. The donation allows some of these Early Childhood Development centres to re-open. This donation is going to help many kids to get back into school. We are truly grateful for this; we wouldn\u2019t manage without this donation from Hisense\u201d said Susan.<\/p>\n

The handover ceremony was heart-warming. It was humbling to see the great work that is being done by selfless individuals helping the youth of our country learn, develop skills and to keep them off the streets.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know this is only a drop in the ocean, but we will continue helping these NGO\u2019s as often as we can. Our next project is already in its planning phase.\u201d Said Jenine Whitehorn, marketing manager of Hisense.<\/p>\n
