NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES

Employees from Murray & Roberts companies and tenants based at the Douglas Roberts Centre came together to help the local community. We salute them for their dedication to, and involvement in, these upliftment initiatives:

OPERATION ANTI-FREEZE: FIGHTING HUNGER AND GIVING HOPE
Operation Anti-Freeze is an inner-city upliftment project that reaches out to underprivileged communities in the Ekurhuleni municipality in Gauteng. We conducted a fundraising collection in December 2020 in aid of the Operation Anti-Freeze Christmas Hamper drive, which delivers food parcels to needy families over the festive season.

AVRIL ELIZABETH HOME GETS ANOTHER WHEELCHAIR
The Tops and Tags initiative collects plastic bottle tops that would usually end up in landfill. We were able to collect an additional 460kg of these bottle tops – enough to trade for a third wheelchair, which was donated to Wonga, a resident of the Avril Elizabeth Home. Wonga is delighted to be more mobile and able to move around on his own.

SCHOOL UNIFORM LAY-BY DEBTS PAID OFF
A collection organised two weeks before the start of the school year meant that we were able to pay off the school uniform layby debt at two community Pep stores, giving learners and their families a better start to 2021.

We are grateful to every person who gave of their time, money and resources to help us ease the burdens of parents and communities who have less than we do.
