OUR CSI PROGRAMME
Two Mountains Celebrates Casual Day
A day filled with courage and kindness as we spend a day at Tshwane rehabilitation Hospital
Every first week of September, South Africans celebrate casual day – an initiative to raise funds and awareness for people living with disabilities. The awareness and fundraising project by the National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities (NCPD) gets a public contribution of R20.00 for a Casual Day sticker or “I have courage. I am kind” wristband. This year’s theme is “Courage + Kindness” to highlight the importance of people who are still supporting Casual Day in these trying times when we are in the midst of a global pandemic.
The proceeds of the donations are channeled to Persons with Disabilities at schools, homes and workshops represented by the participating beneficiary organizations. The project also supports the disability units of 11 universities, the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the South African National Defense Force (SANDF). Two Mountains showed its Courage and Kindness by donating cosmetics to the people living with Disability at the Tshwane Rehabilitation Hospital. We believe in the upliftment and transformation of people living with disability so that they can overcome the barriers of social and economic exclusion.
You can show your support by purchasing your casual day sticker online or from participating retail stores, participating companies, their 600+ beneficiary NGOs and participating schools nationwide.
Child Abuse Awareness Campaign – iGagasi Primary School

Recognizing the importance of literacy and child safety, Two Mountains is proud to have been part of this initiative.

REACH FOR A DREAM
For over 30 years, the Reach For A Dream Foundation has brought hope to over 60,000 life-threatened children across South Africa with the goal to give the child courage to carry on their fight. During this time, more than 16,000 dreams have been fulfilled ranging from a bedroom makeover to arranging for a child to meet their favourite celebrity or fly in a plane.
Reach For a Dream is devoted to helping South African children from the ages of 3 to 18 fulfil their wishes as they fight through long-term sickness, like cancer, cystic fibrosis, leukaemia and various blood disorders. Founded in 1988, the organisation, through birthday parties, spa days and shopping sprees, has made dreams come true for little ones who don’t have the time or health to enjoy their childhood. The funds raised at the Golf Day will go towards supporting the NGO’s efforts.
“Tee off for a good cause” was our mission as Two Mountains to make dreams come true for Reach For a Dream beneficiaries.
