Children of the Doornkop Needy Children’s Centre – eg’s company charity based in South Africa have benefited from recent fundraising by eg staff.

eg staff including Elizabeth Gooch, eg’s CEO, visited the Doornkop Needy Children’s Centre last week and purchased items from a ‘wish list’ of educational items using some of the funds raised over the last few months.  Items included baby play toys, puzzles and building blocks for the crèche.

Elizabeth Gooch said “It is so important that we continue our regular fundraising activities for the Centre to expand the facilities they have available and contribute towards the children’s education.  It is clear that their health has improved with the regular food supplied through our sponsorship.  But the real difference we can make will come from educating these children so they can change their own lives when they are older”.

The Doornkop Needy Children Centre provides shelter, clothing, education and love to orphans and destitute children from the age of 0–5 years.  Currently around 160 children are in their care.  eg decided to support Doornkop after being introduced to their work by the CEO of weekly South African newsletter ‘South Africa – The Good News’ and has since pledged to support the charity in their short and long term objectives.
