On 13 September 2025, the Temba Bavuma Foundation, in partnership with Betway Cares, proudly unveiled the newly renovated Frida Hartley Shelter for Women and Children. More than a physical upgrade, this milestone reflects a renewed commitment to dignity, safety, and opportunity. The project strengthens our advocacy for gender equality, ensuring vulnerable women and children have the security and support needed to rebuild their lives with hope and confidence.

Beyond education and sport, the Foundation is deeply committed to uplifting vulnerable communities through targeted social programmes. Guided by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, TBF focuses on poverty alleviation, health, education, and reducing inequalities.
Community Outreach:
Initiatives include blanket drives, stationery distributions, food parcel deliveries, and shoe donation campaigns. For example, in 2023, 250 pairs of sneakers were donated to pupils at Realogile High School, and 400 dignity packs were distributed to high school girls in Alexandra.
COVID-19 Relief:
During the pandemic, TBF distributed over 2,400 food parcels and 6,250 kilograms of maize meal to families in need, partnering with organizations like One People Fund and PPC.
Supporting Women & Children:
The Foundation has a long-term partnership with the Frida Hartley Shelter, empowering homeless women through education, skills development, and community food drives. In 2025, TBF and Betway Cares launched the renovated Shelter, restoring dignity and safety for vulnerable women and children.
Annual Drives & Celebrations:
From stationery drives to Christmas lunches, these initiatives embody TBF’s belief in community strength, dignity, and shared joy.
