THE RDC FOUNDATION hasn't added a story.
STEP1. I am honoured by this opportunity to request your generous assistance for funding for what would be for a worthy course. I am a 62 year old South African male, who is the Founder of ‘THE RDC FOUNDATION’, a registered Non-Profit Organization, based in Cape Town and operative since 2001. I have dedicated almost 25 years to assist and uplift impoverished people who are caught up in often unimaginable harsh social circumstances of poverty, gangsterism, crime & violence, teen incarcerations and the challenge of reintegration to civil society, teen pregnancies & early school drop-outs, low literacy and numeracy levels, domestic violence, woman & child abuse, dysfunctional families, lack of proper nutrition and under-development. My big stumbling block is that I am no more by the means to fund my own projects and programs. For many years I was self-funded. Since 2001, I have been active in various social impact programs in various impoverished communities in and around Cape Town to help many who otherwise have no change to break out of the vicious social constraints they live under.
STEP 2. Nearly a quarter of the city’s population is aged 14 and below, and just under 7% are aged 65 and above (2021). This suggests that approximately 30% of the people of Cape Town potentially depend on the working-age population. The lack of employment opportunities for vulnerable communities, along with inequitable access to opportunities, has contributed to a range of social challenges, socioeconomic issues, a worsened economy and employment, health and wellbeing issues in Cape Town.
STEP 3. My organization still plays a massive role in addressing many of the mentioned problems. I understand the complexity of tasks at hand and desperately needs to continues to serve communities that suffer daily. Through the Will of God, I will bring immediate relief, hope, joy and happiness’ to the many people I reach out to. I experienced the joy and satisfaction to see how many people benefited over the years.
STEP 4. I am a self-funded, sober, professional and responsible man who is dedicated to task. My resilience and commitment are to provide workable platforms and opportunities for spiritual growth, upliftment, empowerment and development of young people, giving them a second change and hope for a purposeful future and good citizenry. I offer lots of creative and innovative projects, programs, events and opportunities for displaced people to find their way back to joyfulness and hope. Under my leadership I encourage the distressed, dysfunctional and troubled and offer care for the most vulnerable and destitute by helping and assisting them on the pathway to a happier and restored life.
STEP 5. I have integrity that embodies a set of virtues that is not fashionable nor outrageous. Instead, I practice humility, dutifulness, careful emotional self-control in difficult social and personal circumstances, discretion, a passion to serve the needy and an enduring love for others. I have faith and trust in God and live a clean life. I appeal to you to reach out to me and assist me with funds which I will utilize with integrity and good governance.
