More about The Sweethearts Foundation

Since our establishment on Valentine's Day in 2013, we have provided 498 bespoke wheelchairs to individuals across the country. The Sweetheart's Foundation (PBO 930077277, NPO 139-345, Level 2 B-BBEE procurement recognition) is a national 100% non-profit, community-driven, volunteer-based organization. All our incoming funds are allocated purely to giving the gift of movement. Our volunteers, sweetly named "Sweethearts," range from everyday volunteers to high-ranking individuals who juggle work, family, and helping others. Inspired by the love of our country and fellow South Africans, The Sweethearts Foundation believes in leaving a more earth-friendly environment and that a wheelchair should be recognized as a basic human right. We ensure that anyone who is in need of a wheelchair should have one. We collect significant amounts of bread tags and plastic bottle tops from various individuals, schools, and organizations from around the country. These collections are then recycled by local recycling companies, who in return pay The Sweethearts Foundation. We pool all collections from around the country together and allocate the funding to manufacture a wheelchair for the beneficiary currently at the top of our waiting list.
