“We had a lot of children that needed to be looked after. The Hollywood Foundation came in and helped. I don’t know how I can express my happiness. Hollywood Foundation has helped the poorest of the poor. May God bless the work that is being done by the Hollywood Foundation. I am very happy and inspectors from the various government departments can come and check if they want and they will see that I have a top facility for children now”,
Ms. Sihle Mkhize - Owner
Sinqobile Creche and Pre-School is located in a township in Avoca Hills, Durban, and is run by Ms. Sihle Mkhize. Sihle goes above and beyond to care for 54 little ones and she is assisted by her stable staff every day. The children are aged from 6 months to 6 years and consider the Creche to be a safe haven.
During the Christmas Party last year, which was hosted by Hollywoodbets in partnership with Expro and Rotary, the Team took a liking to the little ones. In the spirit of giving back and lending a helping hand, the Team sought to make a difference to improve the learning conditions at the Creche. The Hollywood Foundation chose to generously donate two mobile classes with electric fittings, plumbing and toilet facilities for the children.
The Team from the Hollywood Foundation are aware that we live in uncertain times, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the pillars of the newly launched Hollywood Foundation is Education and Training. The children will now be taught in top notch containers that have an abundance of space.
Brand and Communications Manager, Devin Heffer, said that what was being done already by Sihle was incredible.
“We are hoping Sihle’s good work will continue and go from strength to strength.”

He added that even though there were COVID-19 related challenges, they were able to find a way to help Sihle’s Creche. He said Hollywoodbets was about giving back to the community, and with the launch of the Foundation, it will take their efforts to make a difference in people’s lives to the next level.
