It also extends its efforts beyond South Africa, impacting the broader African continent and globally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a non-profit organisation, the HSFSA relies heavily on donor funding to sustain its initiatives. Without financial support, many at-risk individuals may not receive the life-saving information and assistance they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe ask both individuals and companies to work with us to amplify the impact of our programmes,\u201d said Makanjee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour donation, no matter how small, directly contributes to reducing CVD-related deaths and disabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Librarian Phindiwe Gana, who has been actively involved in elderly community programmes, emphasised the importance of hosting events like these in accessible public spaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe library is more than just a place for books; it\u2019s a space where people come to learn and grow. Health awareness is a crucial part of that learning. We are proud to host the Heart and Stroke Foundation and to help bring life-saving information to our community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Makanjee stressed the significance of equipping communities with the right knowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMany people don\u2019t realise how preventable heart disease and strokes can be. Through this event, we aim to educate, empower, and inspire individuals to make healthier choices,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, the Foundation can be contacted via telephone at 021 422 1586, or visit their website at www.heartfoundation.co.za.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Claremont Public Library event aims to empower communities with knowledge on maintaining a healthy heart and preventing strokes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attendees can expect engaging discussions, interactive health education sessions, and expert advice from health professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe believe that through mobilisation with the community, we can make a lasting impact and save lives,\u201d Makanjee emphasised. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Heart and Stroke Foundation
