Thank you to every doctor on this National Doctor's Day who put their duty before themselves!🙌

Today we celebrate YOU, and we acknowledge the contributions YOU make around the country to every individual that requires your assistance.

Superheroes don't wear capes, they wear scrubs and save us in our times of need.
We are grateful for all your hard work, and for risking your lives to save the citizens of South Africa from this pandemic.

Thank you for always fighting, and for your humility, kindness, and strength.🤗

Happy National Doctor’s Day!

Khayelitsha Hospital is part of the Western Cape Department of Health services platform and serves one of the country's biggest and poorest informal settlements. The district hospital was officially opened in February 2012 and is one of The SAME Foundation's current healthcare projects.

The equipment that was donated to the hospital will be used for the next 10 years, if not longer, and will contribute to treating hundreds of thousands of patients and saving thousands of patients' lives.

In 2021, the Emergency unit treated 35699 trauma patients, and the equipment that was donated will ensure that patients get the quality healthcare they deserve.

The SAME Foundation and Khayelitsha District Hospital are forever grateful for the wonderful donations received from our loyal donors, as this would not be possible without the philanthropic support shown by our donor partners.

"EVERY BREATH COUNTS - STOP TB NOW!"

Each year on the 24th of March, World Tuberculosis Day is commemorated to raise public awareness about the devastating health, social and economic consequences of tuberculosis (TB), as well as to step up efforts to end the global TB epidemic.

TB IS CURABLE!
TESTING IS SIMPLE!
TREATMENT IS FREE!


to the completed Computer Lab and Resource Center at Fisantekraal High School in the Western Cape, in 2019.

The SAME Foundation donated a brand new Resource Center and Computer Lab to the underprivileged school in Fisantekraal, which provides education to 1200 learners.

Living in underprivileged and rural communities limits the student's access to technological resources and online information.
Our donation will make a great impact on the learning environment at the school, as teachers and learners can now utilise these classes for; research purposes, e-learning, completing assignments, and lesson planning.

Today is Science Education Day!

STEM Education is a term to encompass ‘Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math's’. Education in the STEM subjects lays the foundation for children in critical thinking, and to be literate in the language of the future.

Empowering learners from underprivileged communities in South Africa is a big step towards upliftment from the cycle of poverty, crime, and unemployment. Improving STEM literacy through access, resources, and quality education will improve students exposure to subjects that will grant them greater chances of employment.

Today is World Kidney Day, bringing awareness to kidney health and encouraging people to support kidney disease research.

Kidneys remove waste and toxins from the blood; help regulate blood pressure, produce red blood cells, activates Vitamin D in the body and maintains a balance of minerals in the blood.

Make sure you go for a screening at least once a year to prevent kidney disease or further health implications.
It is easy, simple and pain free!

On behalf of the SAME Foundation we wish ALL WOMEN a very Happy International Women's Day.

Today we celebrate all the amazing women around the world, and send out our prayers to those being affected by poverty, social injustice and war.

to the completed science labs and computer centre at Altmont Technical High School in Soweto.

Thanks to our amazing corporate donors, we were able to provide Altmont Technical High School that is situated in the informal settlement of Soweto, with two new science laboratories, a new Technical Drawing Class and a computer centre.
This school is classified as a Quintile 1 no-fee paying school, meaning it serves an extremely poor community.

Science and Maths education in South Africa is currently in a state of crisis, which is why our Foundation's educational focus is on subjects. Providing the community with proper educational infrastructure to provide the youth with the opportunity to access quality education.

The SAME Foundation is a non-profit organisation that raises funds and manages corporate social investment allocations to improve the health and education environment in South Africa. The SAME Foundation has created a platform whereby private and corporate donors can make a tangible and sustainable difference with their funds. The Hospitals and Schools we work with rely solely on government financing and are utilised by over 85% of our country’s population and are therefore under severe strain. Our aim is to assist donors by aligning their annual donation budgets to projects where the investment will make the biggest tangible impact. 😌

Rural schools are at a higher risk of resource deprivation, and educators in these areas are notoriously under trained and ill-equipped to handle large classes of students.

Most children who attend school in rural areas leave school at the age of 16, with a reading age of only 9 years old. (Borgen Project, 2019)

Did you know, according to the World Federation for Mental Health, 800,000 people per year die from committing su***de, which is 1 person every 40 seconds.

Mental Health in the workplace is a major concern, as poor Mental Health and stress can negatively affect employee job performance and productivity.

Over the last few years, the SAME Foundation has successfully handed over two projects focusing specifically on Mental Healthcare.

In Sterkfontein Psychiatric Hospital, we were able to focus a facility solely around Mental Health conditions, and in Khayelitsha District Hospital we were able to raise funds for their Mental Health ward in order to provide 65 specialised patient beds to their patients so they could be restored dignity after sleeping on the floor.

Mental Health is a serious condition, and it is advised to go for a checkup with your GP or psychiatrist on a regular basis.
