Short Term Projects
At RTC, we're dedicated to addressing urgent community needs through impactful short-term projects. Our initiatives include feeding programs for children and the elderly, as well as constructing a classroom for learners with special educational needs (LSEN). These projects are designed to provide immediate support and create lasting positive change in the lives of those we serve. Join us in making a difference in our community today.
Happie Club
The Happy Club has been a crucial support for the community, providing healthy, home-cooked meals to 150 children weekly at Laerskool David Brink from 2018 to 2020. This initiative relied on community sponsorships to offer a diverse range of foods. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the project expanded to deliver food parcels to up to 52 families each week, including essentials like meat, vegetables, and starch.
Rustenburg North
Education Facility
Founded 74 years ago, Rustenburg North Primary School is a well-respected institution in Rustenburg, initially designed for 750 pupils but now serving 1,500. Despite our dedication to providing quality education, our infrastructure struggles to keep pace with our growing student body. Temporary classrooms have deteriorated, creating safety and health concerns.
We are excited to announce a new development: thanks to a generous donation from Sibanye Stillwater and the support of several local companies, we are replacing an old classroom with a new parkhome facility. This project aims to improve our learning environment and continue our commitment to excellence in education.
Old Age Home
In July 2013, Annette Labuschagne moved to Rusoord retirement village, seeking ways to serve others. She founded the 'Industrious Fingers' group in 2014, focusing on art, knitting, and crocheting to engage residents in productive activities. As she connected with more people, she discovered that many were only receiving one meal a day due to financial constraints. Moved by their plight, Annette began preparing extra meals and treats every Tuesday for about 50 residents.
The project has since expanded, with contributions from RTC and generous supporters, providing meals for around 65 people. Local volunteers, including Elsabe, play a crucial role in meal preparation.
