When it all began
The Sweethearts Foundation was established on Valentine’s Day in 2013, when our very first wheelchair was handed over. What started as a simple act of kindness has grown into a nationwide movement of people helping people.
The Sweethearts Foundation is a 100% community driven, volunteer-based organisation. Our own skills, resources, and time power everything we do. We believe in paying it forward and using what we have to help those who need it most.
Today, we're a bustling foundation, operating in all 9 provinces across South Africa, helping people realize their dream of having their perfect wheelchair.
The circular economy simply means:
Instead of throwing things away, we collect and recycle them, turning them into something that helps someone else. Nothing goes to waste. Everything gets another chance to do good.
