Current Beneficiary: Little Rose Centre
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.
​

​

Previous Beneficiary: Mentor A Boy Child
In previous years, we were honored to support Mentor A Boy Child, an initiative founded by Mpho Masondo and Sydney Mbhele. This program focuses on mentoring young boys between the ages of 15-20, helping them navigate life with positive role models. Through one-on-one mentorship, the initiative aimed to address the societal challenges faced by many young men, particularly in underprivileged communities, by fostering growth and development through guidance and support.
