Futurelife In Partnership With The Nelson Mandela Foundation Establish The Mfundwentle Pre-School
Futurelife In Partnership With The Nelson Mandela Foundation Establish The Mfundwentle Pre-school. Futurelife is thrilled to announce a significant milestone achieved through its landmark partnership with the Nelson Mandela Foundation – the successful establishment of the Mfundwentle Pre-school, an Early Childhood Development Centre in Diepkloof, Kwazulu-Natal. This remarkable achievement comes a year after the launch of the initiative in Q3 2022, with a shared mission to provide a million meals for vulnerable children across South Africa.
Futurelife has always been committed to addressing the growing issue of childhood hunger and malnutrition. The company’s ambitious campaign set a target of distributing over 5 million meals to underprivileged children while simultaneously building a preschool to offer access to quality education for little tots in need.
Its Marketing Manager, Keegan Eichstadt, expressed deep concern for the harsh reality many of South Africa’s children face. “4.6 million of our nation’s children go to bed hungry, and FUTURELIFE®, in collaboration with the Nelson Mandela Foundation, has risen to the occasion to drive change and assist in alleviating this pressing issue.”
The overwhelming success of the partnership was evident through the incredible support they received from both the public and corporates. Their response was nothing short of incredible, with countless individuals, business partners and companies sharing the vision for a brighter South Africa and generously contributing to the initiative. Working alongside the Nelson Mandela Foundation and the national NGO, HOPE worldwide South Africa , the company directed all raised funds towards fulfilling its goal of supplying 5 million nutritious meals through sustainable initiatives.
Today, Futurelife stands proud to witness the culmination of this collective effort with the establishment of the Mfundwentle Pre-school. This exceptional facility is set to welcome 30 children annually, empowering them with early education and nourishment that will lay the foundation for a better future. Nontuthuzelo Hadebe, the Principal of Mfundwentle Pre-school, expressed her gratitude, saying, “This is a beacon of hope for our community. Thanks to FUTURELIFE® and the Nelson Mandela Foundation, we can now provide a nurturing learning environment for these children.”
Extending beyond being an Early Childhood Development Centre, the preschool has also been officially registered as an NPO, cementing its commitment to serving the community’s needs for generations to come. The FUTURELIFE® and Nelson Mandela Foundation partnership remains unwavering in its dedication to improving the lives of vulnerable children throughout South Africa.
