Our Work At A Glance

Support

As humans, we are interdependent. There is no human struggle that can't be defeated trough the help of others. That is why we lend a helping hand to those in need

Empowerment

Knowledge is power. We create opportunities for people to meet health professionals, who guide them with information  on important health matters

Networking

We create opportunities for likeminded individuals to create links, that aim to grow the network of people who serve others. We believe in the philosophy of  Servant Leadership

SMF's Guiding Principles are: Compassion, Hope, and Community Service. We believe in uplifting the spirits of vulnerable children, particularly those battling illnesses. We give hope to the elderly who witness unprecedented changes of their world. We keep alive the names of people who contributed meaningfully in the the upliftment  of others.

Who Are We?

The Siphiwe Msimango Foundation (SMF) is a dedicated non-profit organisation inspired by the lifelong volunteer work of Malume Siphiwe Msimango. 


With over three decades of community service, we focus on providing emotional and practical support to children battling serious illnesses, particularly cancer, at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital and beyond. Driven by compassion, we offer comfort and hope to families in need, while recognizing the efforts of those who contribute to public service. Close to our hearts are People Living With Disabilities.


Our foundation is rooted in the belief that small acts of kindness can create profound life changes. We also believe that great words must always be reciprocated by action.  That is why we do more than we say. Through our multiple events hosted annually, we've created a vehicle for anyone who wishes to do good to participate. 


At SMF, we strive to extend Malume Siphiwe's vision, by fostering a community of care, love and support. We keep the spirits of The Elderly high, by bringing them entertainment of their legends. They get opportunities to be graced by their favourite artists, whom they've only experienced from afar.

The Ederly

We never let an opportunity pass us by, when we have a chance to put smiles on the faces of the elderly. We leave them energized and upbeat about life. 

Support for Parents

Parents who have children with disabilities and their families don't always know what to do and where to go to get support. We assist them with information. 

We Honour Legends & Contributors in:

Communities

There are many unsung heroes. They spark a bright ray of hope in a world of uncertainty. We honour their dedication.

Sports & Arts

We help maintain the brilliance of our legends' stars. We honour them at venues packed with loved ones and fans alike

Professions

Professionals like Doctors, Professors Teachers, Journalists, etc. are dear to us. We honour them for their hard work and dedication to society 

Legends Entertaining

Through our events, Legends get a chance to perform to roaring applauses from appreciative fans. They get to meet the people who've loved them for decades

 

Generosity 

We aim to normalise generosity 

By our very nature, we are communal as humans. There is no better time to experience such camaraderie spirit amongst us as during a crisis. Necessity and crises level the plain-fields, break down barriers and act as reset buttons for the human spirit. Preservation of human life eclipse all that divide us. A decision is equally fulfilling. To do good is a decision away. By donating, you give life to SMF's work.
