About Brother South Africa

The Eersterust Care and Training Centre is a school and training facility for people and children with disabilities. They look after children and adults from the Eersterust, Eastlynne and Mamelodi communities who are unable to afford the expensive care that is involved with treating their various disabilities. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the children and young adults have not been able to return to school as they are at risk to contracting the virus due to their compromised immune system. On Monday, 13 September, Brother International South Africa visited the facility in order to sponsor the DCP-T420W Ink Tank Printer and MFC-L2700DW Laser Printer. These printers will assist the children and their parents with their school work and homework and allow them to continue with their studies and learning without having to go to school. The centre also provides job opportunities for the young adults to work in the toilet paper factories and the printers will assist them with the training and support materials that they may need.

Brother International South Africa staff members got involved with the children at the Mogogelo Empowerment Centre, which was established in the Moretele Local Municipality in 2019 by Brother International South Africa, in association with TBL and Judea Hope. On 18 July 2022, the Brother team donated clothing and 150 school bags to the children at the Mogogelo Empowerment Centre for Mandela Day 2022. The day was spent interacting with the children and providing them with lunch and treats while they received a free general health check from the North West healthcare workers.
