HELP THOSE ON THE FRONTLINE

I Matter Foundation works with children from different communities and backgrounds. Who have a common challenge which is Learning disorders/disabilities, addressing barriers to learning and involving communities in supporting these children!

As an association we have decided to unite with Smile Foundation in this drive and calls on our community to actively contribute, as all the medical supplies will go to the Newcastle Provincial Hospital.

As an organization we are concerned about our children who depend on the meal they get from the school once a day. During the Lockdown days they are stuck at home with no meal to eat. We have establish a soup kitchen in different areas where our volunteers deliver a cooked meal for these kids and their families. We also include fun activities that we have designed to help them continue learning during this time. Your donations toward these meals and activities are greatly appreciated. Read more…
