ABOUT THE POTATO FOUNDATION
Established in February 2007, The Potato Foundation focuses primarily on uplifting children from the vulnerable age of infancy to 13 years of age who attend pre-schools, primary schools and aftercare centres.
The name of the organisation was adopted around the growth concept of a potato. GIVING is very much like a POTATO - its roots are hidden and the growing effect thereof is not visible until the potato is harvested. The Potato Foundation aims to be exactly that - the roots within our community sustaining and nurturing assistance to uplift and empower children in their educational environment and give them an opportunity to take their rightful place in society.
Over the past two decades, The Potato Foundation has established a strong presence across numerous projects in and around the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality, while building lasting relationships with several project institutions and volunteers.
We believe that PASSION creates the PERFECT GIFT! This is where YOUR skills, aptitude and time can contribute to the greater good in your communities. This surely is a very effective and sustainable way your skills can manifest and to see the change in society, with the helping hands and guidance of The Potato Foundation. This is achieved by requesting the individual volunteer, businesses, churches and schools to actively get involved in the projects they support financially.
