Tildatech donates R10 000 towards St Francis
It is not only the season for giving, but also a time to be thankful for all that we have received throughout the year.
For Tilda Technologies, supporting the Rainbow Cottage at St Francis Care Centre is one way to demonstrate a cheerful spirit, by donating R10 000.
This year marks the third continuous year the company has donated to the Centre.
“We are so pleased to be able to offer this donation to the Centre, because giving back is important,” says Software Development manager at Tildatech, Pleasure Skosana.
“We appeal to locals to join in the Rainbow Cottage challenge and to dare their siblings, friends, colleagues and companies to equal or better their donation.”
Registered as a Children’s Home, Rainbow Cottage provides a safehaven for 30 abandoned or orphaned children from birth to seven years of age.
This sanctuary provides their everyday requirements, from nappies and food to medication, all while offering physical care, developmental supervision, as well as emotional and spiritual support.
Cynthia Dicks, in charge of fundraising development at St Francis Care Centre says the generosity of local businesses and the community at large, at this time of year, provides a much-needed boost to their dwindling funds, while it also brings sustenance and great comfort to the little ones.
“And sometimes,” added Tilly Brouwer, centre manager for St Francis Care Centre, “our sponsors are unaware of their impact; they don’t realise that they are giving our children a future.”
