Thanks to your kindness, Mzansi, a fridge, an inverter, and a whole lot of love are keeping David’s Puppy SOS KZN rescue mission alive.

KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (20 March 2026) – Towards the end of last month, the Robin Hood Foundation shared its hopes to help out a fellow helper, David from Puppy SOS KZN.

Living in a remote area outside Verulam, David has opened his home to more than 100 rescued dogs. Through ongoing sterilisation efforts, he has also reduced the number of unwanted puppies in his area significantly, bringing long-term change to stop the stray cycle.

Change he’s achieved with very limited resources and support… until recently.

Thanks to a heartfelt appeal shared by the Robin Hood Foundation, the greater public has stood up to help fill the gap.

Because of you, the Foundation returned to visit David, and thanks to your generosity, arrived bearing gifts, handing over:

• Clothing and shoes
• Easter eggs
• Care and food parcels for each of his 6 dedicated staff members
• A donated bar fridge
• An inverter to help keep his phone and fridge powered during outages

“What may seem like simple items are, in David’s world, lifelines — helping him continue the incredible work he does every single day for his dogs and community,” the Foundation said.

Images captured from the delivery were marked by smiles that spoke to the appreciation of these gifts and supplies that will keep an honest man’s mission to care for vulnerable animals alive.

And the morning didn’t stop there.

“In true Robin Hood style, we followed a nudge and found ourselves visiting a nearby crèche and an old-age home. With arms still full, we shared Easter eggs, clothing, and biscuits — and in return, we were given something far greater.”

The team got to dance, sing and laugh with the elders, creating a moment of pure joy and connection that none of them will forget.

“This is what happens when people come together with open hands and open hearts. Thank you for helping us care for the caregivers — and for allowing us to keep saying “yes” when we see need along the way.”

They say it takes a village, and for David’s tiny rescues, that village just showed up in a massive way!

Meet David. A man who shares his bed with the dogs who need him most. The Robin Hood Foundation’s ‘Care for the Caregivers’ is stepping in to show him some love.

KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (26 February 2026) – The Robin Hood Foundation is doing something special for the helpers this year. The ones who are always carrying others. Who show up again and again.

For every month in 2026, they will honour one such person or team who gives their time and heart to a cause or organisation, returning a little of the care they pour out into the world.

They’re calling it ‘Care for the Caregivers.’

“This year, each month, we will choose one individual, cause or organisation and do something special just for them — so they feel loved, valued and truly seen.” the organisation shares.

Last month, the volunteers from Queens Sport and Community Kitchen, who serve around 500 meals every week, were spoiled with care packs.

This month, that circle of care extends to David from Puppy SOS KZN – a man whose selfless devotion has changed the lives of hundreds of animals.

Living in a remote area outside Verulam, David has opened his home to more than 100 rescued dogs. Through ongoing sterilisation efforts, he has also reduced the number of unwanted puppies in his area significantly, bringing long-term change to stop the stray cycle.

With limited resources and often without basic services, David’s work continues almost entirely through compassion and community support.

“He is deeply passionate about his animals. So much so that he shares his very old, very worn Super King bed with many of the dogs who need extra care at night. His bed is no longer fit for purpose – but his heart never stops giving. We would love to give back to him” shares Robin Hood Foundation.

The foundation hopes to lighten the load, starting with a few practical essentials on David’s wish-list – a replacement Super King size bed and a mini fridge to safely store vaccines and essential medication.

Robin Hood put out the call for donations and within hours, supporters had already come forward with a fridge, bed, and donated toward more support for David and his doggies!

Those who wish to contribute can connect directly with the foundation. Contact details here.

Christmas only comes around once a year. Along with it, a list of incredible organisations looking to make the festive season special for those without families to celebrate with. 

Durban (08 October 2025) – Making its return this year is the Robin Hood Foundation’s Bless a Granny & Grandpa initiative that brings the festive spirit to 2,500 elderly residents in sub-economic and state-funded old age homes across Durban.

Last year, they reached 18 homes. This year, they’re upping it to 20.

Each year, the organisation collects Christmas prezzies across five pick up points in Durban, where their elves (ie. you, the donors) have dropped off gift bags for designated grannies and grandpas. The prezzies are then delivered to old age homes by the team at Robin Hood.

It’s the most exciting time of year for many of the grannies and grandpas who are blessed with a visit and a gift.

“For many of these Grannies and Grandpas, it’s the only gift they’ll receive all year — and sometimes, we may be their only visitor. That’s why these visits are always described as their favourite day of the year,” shares the team.

While many of us are privileged to spend the festive season around family, others aren’t. Drives like this one bring a little bit of light to deserving people at the loneliest time of their year.

Sound like something good to get behind? Follow these steps to get involved.

1. Make a Wish

Make a pledge on how many grannies and/or grandpas you would like to buy a Christmas wish for by popping an email to info@robinhoodfoundation.co.za.

2. Receive a Wish

3. Fulfil a Wish

Shop for your grannies and grandpas to the value of R250–R300. Place their gift in a gift bag. Fill in the gift tag provided with their name, residence, room number and firmly attach to the outside of your gift bag.

4. Deliver a Wish

The post ⁠Looking For Something Good to Do Over Christmas? Bless a Granny and Grandpa! appeared first on Good Things Guy.

A group of compassionate grannies in the United Kingdom has been pouring their hearts into a beautiful cause to provide comfort to the most vulnerable, ensuring new SA moms have something to take their babies home in.

United Kingdom, South Africa (24 September 2025) – Imagine strangers on the other side of the world, pouring their hearts, time and creativity into handmade crafts destined to reach the most innocent littlies in need from the moment they enter this world.

Well, somewhere in the United Kingdom, a group of selfless oumas have been stitching the cosiest and snuggliest baby items and blankets to donate to the Robin Hood Foundation to bless children in South Africa.

And as if that wasn’t special enough, in an extended effort to ensure these items could be delivered without any hiccups, the grannies of the Baby Bear knitting group further held a 12-hour Knitathon at their church to raise funds to cover the necessary import duties last week.

Moved by the heartfelt cause and generosity, the Robin Hood Foundation expressed that it was deeply humbled by the kindness of this senior knitting community.

The Foundation further emphasised how the resources and hours spent by these incredible knitters to create the most gorgeous blankets and tiny clothes directly impact new moms they may never meet, and often have nothing to take their baby home in.

“Never underestimate the power of small acts of love. There is always something you can do to make a difference,” the Foundation said.

These knitted goods are with new moms, children, and elders who need them most – each becoming a personal symbol of care and worth to the worthy recipients.

If you’d like to donate your knitted or crocheted items, you can reach out to Charlotte at info@robinhoodfoundation.co.za.

Dr Nomvula Shale was told she only had six months to live. Instead of giving up, she chose to dedicate her remaining time to helping others. It’s been thirty years, and she’s still going strong, earning the praise of fellow foundations inspired by her impact.

Durban, South Africa (27 August 2025) – Sometimes, all it takes is a single moment to redefine the course our lives will take. When she was told she had only six months to live after being diagnosed with HIV, Dr Nomvula Shale refused to accept that fate and chose instead to dedicate her life to service.

This was in 1995.

Thirty years later, not only is Dr Shale still alive and well, but she is a true beacon of hope. She is a brave activist, community builder and the founder of Siphila Ngomusa Centre in Durban.

At the heart of the centre are 11 incredible women, each a survivor of gender-based violence, who now use their own experiences to help others heal. Together, they help serve and feed over 488 people every day, while providing support to those living with HIV, survivors of GBV, people facing addiction, homelessness, and other vulnerabilities.

Together with Dr Shale, they were recently honoured by the Robin Hood Foundation (RHF), SA Harvest and The Sharks, who paid them a visit bearing gifts and supplies to keep their centre fully stocked.

“We were humbled to deliver personalised gift bags to 11 extraordinary women. Today, they use their pain as power, helping other women heal, find hope, and rebuild their lives.

“These women embody the true spirit of Women’s Month: courage, resilience, compassion, and leadership,” The Robin Hood Foundation said.

The RHF thanked its partners for standing with them in shining a light on the work, stories, and strength of the all-women Siphila Ngomusa team.

“Together, we can keep building a world where no woman stands alone.”

It took a lick of paint and a few amazing volunteers to turn an old classroom at Kranskloof Primary into a space bursting with stories. The new library, set up in 10 days, honours a late volunteer.

KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (24 August 2025) – An unused classroom at Kranskloof Primary was little more than four blank walls and echoes for a while. But all that changed when the Robin Hood Foundation and its army of volunteers rolled up their sleeves in a mission to make pupils’ days a little brighter with books.

In just ten days, they transformed the forgotten space into a colourful library, packed with books, games, and corners made for dreaming.

Every brushstroke and book on the shelf was a gift. Local companies like Naidu Consulting, SA Harvest and Thomas More College chipped in, while volunteers brought the school’s new book nook to life.

“It really did take a village. Every single part of this library was donated and built through collective generosity,” wrote Robin Hood Foundation.

An artist named Daisy sprinkled a bit of magic, too, turning the walls into a wild mural that brought the sea to the library.

A special part of this story lies in the name above the library’s door. The Ian Manzie Library.

“Ian was the Robin Hood Foundation’s longest-serving volunteer, a man whose kindness ran deep and whose laughter filled every room. When he passed away earlier this year, the community knew his legacy needed a home.”

A wholesome moment came on opening day, when Ian’s wife, Joan, cut the ribbon.

“This is our small way of saying: thank you, Ian — you are missed, and your legacy will live on here forever,” said the NPO.

After 10 days of selfless work, young minds got to meet their brand new space for stories, imagination and creativity.

“To everyone who played a part — from the companies who backed us…to every individual who donated books, painted walls, or gave their time,  we thank you. This was togetherness in action,” the foundation wrote.

Partnering with the incredible Kloof and Highway SPCA, the Robin Hood Foundation generously donated R100,000 to fund a massive three-day animal sterilisation drive, stopping thousands of unwanted litters in rural areas.

Kloof, South Africa (17 July 2025) – The Robin Hood Foundation (RHF) is spreading goodness all around as part of its 20^th birthday celebrations, and this week, that goodness is the heartwarming picture of over a hundred happy wagging tails!

RHF proudly donated R100,000 to support a massive animal sterilisation drive in partnership with the incredible team at the Kloof and Highway SPCA.

“We were honoured to visit the outreach site and witness the compassionate, efficient process in action – from intake and preparation to surgery and recovery,” RHF said.

The sterilisation is running over the course of three days, with hopes to sterilise over 150 cats and dogs in rural areas where over-breeding remains a serious issue.

“Inspectors collect the animals in areas that are far away and return them once they are awake and ready.”

For both the RHF and the SPCA, this isn’t just a campaign, it’s prevention in action.

“By stopping thousands of unwanted litters, we’re helping reduce neglect, hunger, and cruelty in areas where resources are scarce and animals suffer most,” RHF explains.

Volunteers were especially touched to see numerous responsible pet owners lining up with their furry companions, ready to do the right thing. Every dog owner also received a 5kg bag of maize meal, sponsored by RHF, and the kids walked away beaming, each choosing from generously donated toys.

“Together, we are being part of the solution – one sterilisation, one act of kindness, one family at a time,” RHF.

Here’s to saving lives and building healthier communities! Happy birthday RHF!

Picture long lines of school children queuing for sandwiches made with love or the tears of a vulnerable first-time mother receiving a baby bag filled with all the essentials for care for her little one. These are just a few examples of how the Robin Hood Foundation has, for 20 years, been a beacon of hope for communities in need.

Durban, South Africa (12 May 2025) – For 20 years, the Robin Hood Foundation has blessed child-headed homes, fed school children, supported babies, grandmothers, grandfathers and furry friends too.

The charity celebrated 20 cherished years of touching lives and making a difference just about anywhere they have discovered a need.

The anniversary was commemorated with a small but meaningful celebration at one of their most beloved and volunteer-supported projects, the “Sarmie Army”, which distributes sandwiches to learners at various local schools.

The organisation also used the milestone to thank its supporters who have been a significant part of its journey in strengthening and supporting communities in need.

“From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to every single person, family, company, school, corporate partner, and volunteer who has stood beside us on this journey,” Robin Hood Foundation said.

“Whether you gave time, goods, funding, talent or simply shared our message — your contribution has mattered. You’ve helped us feed the hungry, clothe the cold, uplift communities, support families, care for animals, and spread joy and hope to thousands.”

The birthday was particularly bittersweet for the Robin Hood Foundation’s chairperson, Cindy Norcott, who announced plans to hand over the reins to fellow volunteer and dedicated photographer, Tilanie Grote.

“It has been the most fulfilling, blessed and beautiful journey that has left me humbled on countless occasions. I have seen the best in humanity, and I have witnessed miracles. I have worked alongside some of the most compassionate people I know, and many of our projects have literally changed lives.

“I feel that it is the end of the season, and I look forward to following other passions, leaving with a very full and happy heart,” Cindy said.

We wish the Foundation 20 more (and more) years of success in bridging the gap between generosity and those in need.

Caring volunteers of the Robin Hood Foundation spent precious time with 80 new mothers at Victoria Mxenge Hospital, offering comfort and support and gifting them with thoughtfully packed bags filled with essentials and beautifully knitted items.

Durban, South Africa (27 February 2025) – There’s nothing quite like waking up to a friendly face or being in the presence of someone who genuinely cares to know how you’re doing at your most vulnerable moment.

The new moms at the Victoria Mxenge Hospital got to experience just that when volunteers of the Robin Hood Foundation took some time out of their day to spread some love at the maternity wards.

In addition to spending quality time with the 80 new moms, the volunteers came bearing thoughtfully prepared bags filled with toiletries, donated baby clothing, blankets, toys, and exquisitely knitted items crafted by talented knitters from Durban and as far away as the United Kingdom.

“Our recent visit to Victoria Mxenge Hospital was a testament to the profound impact of collective compassion.

“The joy and gratitude expressed by these mothers, some of whom had nothing to dress their newborns in, were deeply moving,” Robin Hood Foundation said.

The team’s outreach extended to the children’s ward, too, where they distributed bags containing colouring books, crayons, children’s books, and toys! Handmade dolls and dresses crafted by dedicated supporters brought special joy to the young girls.

Needless to say, the children were over the moon upon receiving their gifts and treats, especially those who have endured extended hospital stays – some up to a year.

During the visit, the Foundation was moved by the dedication of the staff, who not only accommodated them but also ensured that all patients were well taken care of.

“We often hear about the negativity and challenges within our healthcare facilities, such as understaffing and aging infrastructure. We are humbled by the unwavering dedication, love and care of the hospital staff – it’s truly inspiring.

“From the security personnel at the gate to the nurses, administrative staff, matrons, and doctors, each individual demonstrates a profound commitment to patient care, Robin Hood Foundation commented on what proved to be a day to remember!

This past Valentine’s Day was extra special for the elders of Natal Settlers, thanks to school children who took the time and care to make them homemade, handwritten cards.

Durban, South Africa (19 February 2025) — In a world where we are so inundated with text on screens of all shapes and sizes, there’s something to be said about reading and receiving something handwritten on paper. For the elders of Natal Settlers, such a series of nostalgic surprises came their way in all colours and slants of hand thanks to school children who took the time and care to spread a little extra love.

The array of homemade, handwritten cards, along with heart-shaped cookies, came as a wonderful surprise to the senior citizens this past Valentine’s Day.

The Robin Hood Foundation (RHF), who shared the gifts made by the children with help from their teachers at Curro Christian Academy and Waterfall College, said that these gifts were some of the loveliest they’ve had “the honour of giving.”

Considering all the donations and essential goods the charity deals with as part of their day-to-day activities to help where help is needed; this is no small compliment!

“Some acts of kindness are so special they deserve their own spotlight—and this is one of them,” RHF reflected.

Each senior received at least three cards boasting little notes of love, encouragement and sweet wishes.

“For many of these elders, handwritten letters were once the only way to stay connected and in a world that has moved on to instant messages and emails, this simple, thoughtful gift brought back a sense of nostalgia, warmth, and connection,” RHF added.

“This is proof that it’s the mall gestures of kindness that make the biggest difference.”
