Driving Change: The Father’s Heart Benefits from Just Property Prosper Charity Golf Day

In May, The Father’s Heart Community Development had the honour of being the official beneficiary of the Just Property Prosper Annual Charity Golf Day—an event where every swing carried both heart and purpose.

The day brought together an inspiring mix of golf enthusiasts, renewable energy leaders, local businesses, and community champions, all united by a shared mission to make a difference. The fairways were filled with camaraderie, laughter, and meaningful connections, creating an atmosphere as uplifting as it was competitive.

Thanks to the generosity of attendees and sponsors, the event raised essential funds to support our ongoing work in transforming the lives of orphan and vulnerable families in our care in Fisantekraal.

We extend our deepest gratitude to:

Just Property Prosper – our main event sponsor, for making the day possible.
Wet hole sponsors – Impower Pty Ltd, Solar MD, and Heyns and Partners Inc & Dynamic Property Rentals– whose support added energy, fun, and generosity to the occasion.

A special shoutout also goes to our MC, PG Engelbrecht, for keeping spirits high and the laughs coming during the prize-giving ceremony.

Thank you to everyone who participated, sponsored, donated, and cheered us on. Every rand raised is helping to provide education, care and psychosocial support to the most vulnerable. Thank you for giving us a mulligan, so we can help shape better futures for the children of Fisantekraal.

Brights Hardware: Building a Brighter Future with The Father’s Heart

Our journey with Brights Hardware has been one of vision, commitment, and community transformation. As one of our longest-standing partners, Brights has supported The Father’s Heart from the very beginning—and their impact continues to grow.

Recently, we had the honour of welcoming a few groups of Brights Hardware staff members to our centre in Fisantekraal. This visit was more than just a tour—it was a powerful opportunity for hands-on involvement and connection.

The team joined us in:

Sitting in on a mentorship class with the incredible moms in our program,
Engaging with our online school students,
Assisting one of our Consumer Studies students with a practical component of her curriculum.

Their final stop was a visit to the future site of the Fisantekraal Child & Youth Development Centre, where we shared our bold vision for the next phase of community upliftment. It was a moment of inspiration—showing how long-term partnerships like this one are sowing into the lives of vulnerable children for generations to come.

Putting for a worthy cause

The Father’s Heart Community Development partnered up with Just Property Prosper, as the official beneficiary of their annual corporate charity Golf Day, held on 26th October at the prestigious Durbanville Golf Course. The event was a resounding success, raising over R100 000 for The Fathers Heart critical work with orphans and vulnerable children in the community of Fisantekraal.

The golf day connected golf enthusiasts, renewable energy partners, local businesses, and community members for a day of camaraderie and good golf while enjoying a challenging course, picturesque views and various opportunities to give back to a worthy cause.

Touched by the work and impact of The Fathers Heart, the 3 brothers, Pieter, Johannes and Hendrik van den Berg of Just Property Prosper reached out to the organisation earlier this year to strategize on how they could help raise funds and bring awareness about this critical work through their annual Corporate Golf Day.

A huge thank you to our main sponsor Just Property Prosper and our Hole sponsors; Impower Solar, Kathea Energy, Solar MD & Heyns & Partners for providing financial contributions and prizes to support the event and make it a reality.

The overwhelming support by the local businesses and individuals who rallied to support the cause by participating in the golf day demonstrated the dedication to the charity's mission. A special thank you as well to the following companies who supported by donating prizes, goody bag items, services, welcome drinks etc:

STBB, Jeremy Kilian, Callaway South Africa, Mlima Group, Dreyer Hoffman, Taurus Medical, Devils Peak Brewery, Durbanville Hills, Just Property, Chamonix & Eikehof.

A special thanks to PG Engebrecht who was the MC and auctioneer of the evening, who provided fun entertainment while we handed out incredible prizes to the golfers and offered unique items for auction. A highlight of the auction was a statue donated to The Fathers Heart, by the world renowned, award winning artist Marco Olivier another supporter of their life changing work.

Celebrating beautiful and bold women

Celebrating beautiful & bold women

In August we hosted another blessed and sold-out Women’s Day event spent with incredible, beautiful and bold women! We heard testimonies, shared stories, were encouraged, laughed, ate good food, met new friends, took lots of pics and had loads of fun! The motivational message for the morning by our phenomenal speakers Lucia Dramat & Candice Manuel Embrace Your Curves is to not give up, keep dreaming big, don’t let fear, anxiety & others opinions hold you back from pursuing your purpose & dreams and run a race of endurance. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind”.

The Fathers Heart Community Development would like to thank our title sponsor, Impower Pty Ltd. for their generous support to help us host this event (& even helped with the setup!).
