COVID-19

Donation in response to COVID-19

Moved by the call and observing the infection rate and personal strife caused by COVID-19, a group of moms with students at Roedean School (SA) and St John's College in Johannesburg, and in collaboration with the Mosehla Foundation, leveraged their collective network and social media to raise funds to procure and donate protective clothing to health workers at a local hospital. A total of R327,190.00 (Three Hundred and Twenty-Seven Thousand One Hundred and Ninety Rand) was raised in under a week.

500 pairs of scrubs and 500 facemasks

The funds raised were utilised to procure 500 pairs of scrubs and 500 facemasks (total cost R199,080) which was donated to Tembisa Hospital.

The procurement of these scrubs and facemasks supported local businesses. Due to the short supply of facemasks, one of the moms converted her factory and manufactured specialised and approved facemasks to meet the urgent and immediate need.

Generous donation from Anglo Gold Ashanti

In addition, we are humbled by the generous donation made by Anglo Gold Ashanti of 25 mobile and serviceable toilets to the value of R80,000. The donation, made as a result of our call, was handed over to Dr Tsitsi at Chris Hani Baragwanath.

One of the best feelings in the world is giving. The positive energy is contagious. With just one act of kindness, you can inspire others to go out and plant seeds of happiness through giving, too.

PPE donated to Rahima Moosa Mother and Child Hospitall

On the 2nd September 2020, The Mosehla Foundation and TikiHealth (our PPE provider) delivered PPE to the Rahima Moosa Mother & Child Hospital in Johannesburg. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Rahima Moosa made an appeal for donations to the public to assist them with various requirements. Employees at Mergence Investment Managers heeded this call and made personal donations in response to this appeal.

“Giving is not just about making a donation. It is about making a difference.” (Kathy Calvin) and Mergence employees demonstrated how they were able to make a difference to the lives of staff and patients at the Rahima Moosa Mother & Child Hospital.
