For this year's Wind Down Invitational, we are proud to support Little Rose Centre, located in Kliptown, Soweto. Founded in 1997, Little Rose was the first crèche in the community and continues to serve one of the most underprivileged areas in Johannesburg. The centre provides early childhood education, shelter, and meals to approximately 140 children, while also offering job opportunities, workshops, and feeding schemes to over 150 adults in need. Run by dedicated volunteers from the local community, Little Rose is a beacon of hope, offering holistic support to children and adults alike.

​

As part of our partnership, we encourage donations to support the Centre’s ongoing efforts. In-kind donations are especially appreciated. These include:

​

• Pavement of the courtyard and walkway from gate to library

• Refurbishment of old classrooms

• New septic tank

• Tables and chairs for the kids in the new classroom

• Shelves for the kids' backpacks in the new classrooms

• A Toyota Avanza to be used as a taxi/combi service

• 3/4 plate gas stove and gas cylinders

• Driving lessons and license admin fees for Nhlanhla to help with tours
