The Robin Hood Foundation was formed in March 2007 however our community projects started informally in May 2005.
"We aim to collect resources from those with resources to spare and to distribute these resources directly into the hands of the poorest of the poor in Aids affected communities in KZN."

It has been said that every remarkable event or achievement in life started with one small idea. Little did I know that four years ago, when I decided to distribute secondhand baby clothing to needy mums that our efforts would result in the formation of a charity foundation that has helped thousands of poor people in 4 years.
It is also said that "If you do what you can, God will do what you can't." The Robin Hood Foundation has taken up huge amounts of time and energy but I have been blessed to witness many miracles that have occurred and continue to occur every week I am astounded by the generosity of our supporters who help collect items, who knit, who help us pack and who support us when we deliver our Love the babies and Gogo bags.
I believe that the Robin Hood Foundation is offering hope to needy people for whom the future looks rather hopeless. We take items from people who have resources to spare and we lovingly redistribute these items into the hands of the poorest of the poor who have been identified through church workers and community workers.
I am always humbled to see the absolute delight and joy on the faces of our recipients - people whose lives are marked with poverty, desperation and hopelessness. Our gifts of love are always seen as more than material goods. It is an occasion of celebration and we are always greeted with singing, dancing and cheering.
Please consider this as an open invitation to anyone who is keen to experience a life-changing event. Join us when we pack or deliver and experience a Robin Hood miracle for yourself.
It is our mission to help those in need and we intend growing our footprint in KZN, reaching out and helping the poor. We can't do this on our own. We need your help!
I love the saying, "There is nothing that is wrong with this country that can't be fixed by what is right with this country."
Lets all be part of what makes our country unique and beautiful.
God bless!
