Charity Welfare Foundation (CWF)
In early 2000, Hoosen saw the need to provide a platform where individuals and families could benefit by channelling their donations through an 18A PBO. In 2015 he founded the Charity Welfare Foundation and is actively involved with the CWF — a registered Section 18A Public Benefit Organisation and NPO. CWF facilitates the acquisition and distribution of welfare goods, stationery, school uniforms, food hampers, and operates feeding schemes and borehole projects across South Africa, making a tangible difference in communities most in need. Scores of individuals, families and businesses have benefitted from partnering with CWF – all at NO cost to them.
