We aim to empower local communities through utilising our existing resources and talent.
TFG’s manufacturing arm, Prestige Clothing, upskills previously unemployed individuals to produce blankets that are donated to disaster-affected communities.
In this way, we are able to put together an internal project team to successfully do what we do best – produce quality merchandise while doing good.
To date, we have produced 60 000 blankets and plan to produce another 40 000 in the next year!
In 2014, TFG partnered with UCT on the launch of the 100UP+ project, now referred to as the 100UP Transition Programme.
This project aims to bridge the transition from school to university life for those academically gifted 100UP first year university students from Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain, who have been accepted and are enrolled at UCT, improve 100UP students’ work readiness and self-confidence skills, as well as ensure 100UP students’ basic needs are met (food, warmth and access to technology).
TFG is pleased to have made a R50 000 donation to Kick4Life Football Academy in Lesotho. Kick4Life is a soccer club exclusively dedicated to social change, and whose vision is that every child and young person in Lesotho has the opportunity to achieve their potential.
TFG’s R50 000 will directly contribute to the delivery of employment and life-skills training for the Academy participants.
