A Heart That Gives What It Doesn't Have

Sanele Manyisa has nothing; and gives everything.
Unemployed, yet he founded a non-profit to serve the underprivileged children of his community. Without steady funding, he dips into his own empty pockets to provide care, dignity, and hope. As winter closes in, he's fighting to put warm school jerseys on the backs of children who face biting cold without complaint, because no child should shiver their way through a school day.
But Sanele's heart doesn't stop there.
He spotted Anathi Simamane, a 16-year-old girl from Hambanathi Township, Tongaat, and recognised talent in a swimmer where others saw only struggle. Born in 2009, Anathi has been cutting through the water since age six. Her coaches saw her gift and then moved on. Her family can't afford coaching, swimming gear, or competition fees. She's a Grade 11 learner at Nkosibomvu Secondary School, training on determination alone.
Sanele is asking for help he'll never ask for himself. A little goes a long way. Will you answer? Call Sanele on his cell 067 160 5382.
