Projects

Our team of trekkers raised R 360,000 by successfully reaching the summit of the Cayambe Volcano in Ecuador. The funding was raised to support the Umatter program together with the Smile Foundation.

The Kimberley Phase 2 completion for burn survivors is a significant achievement in the field of burn treatment and rehabilitation. The Kimberley Hospital also known as the Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe Hospital is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to providing comprehensive care to children who have suffered from burn injuries.

Umatter program (a program with the Smile Foundation) was established as a  support network for children and their families to guide their recovery from the brutal post-traumatic physical, psychological and emotional scars inflicted by traumatic burns.

Phase 2 of the Kimberley Hospital was completed THANKS to the very generous donation from the Amzak Capital Management. Watch the video here.

With the funding our trekkers raised from hiking to the summit of Kilimanjaro in 2019, we were able to buy our second Lumenis Ultra Pulse Laser Machine (The most powerful CO2 laser in aesthetic medicine) to help children with scaring after a burn injury in the Gauteng area. Watch the video here.
