The SANFAN foundation and the Golden Key Society visited the Maitland Cottage home on Saturday the 6th of June. We took some books with to donate to the children in the hospital for their reading pleasure..Many of the children there are there for extended periods of time after orthopaedic surgery, so their entertainment is vital. We stayed for a few hrs reading to the kids but they seemed much more interested in our phones and magic card tricks. It was a great day with the kids and they showed us lots of love, even though, they could get very demanding at times and it took a while for some of them to learn the word “please”. I hope the books will at least keep them entertained while they recover.

About us
The See A Need Fill A Need (SANFAN) Foundation was founded on the basis of the diversity of needs in South African communities. South Africa is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world, with an equally diverse history. South Africa has endured an epic journey from the Khoisan, to colonial expansion, to apartheid and the creation of a new democracy.
With this cultural and natural diversity, comes a diversity of needs within communities and the environment. There are many NPO’s operating in S.A. who specialise in specific needs. The main goal of the SANFAN Foundation is to identify needs, both social and environmental, and fill those needs in the most cost effective and practical way. Because of the diversity of needs in South Africa, a NPO which focuses on fulfilling a diversity of needs, makes both economic and social sense. Both local and international volunteers will have the opportunity to make a significant difference in South Africa, while having life changing experiences of their own.
What makes the SANFAN Foundation different is the communication and involvement with donors. Donors have the opportunity to sponsor a need which they have identified themselves or sponsor existing projects. We welcome suggestions and comments on any projects or needs that need to be filled (use the contact section to email us details on suggestions).
