Connect a Heart Foundation (CAHF) exists to turn compassion into action and hope into reality. Established in 2017 in Goodwood, Cape Town, we are a non-denominational, community-driven organisation serving humanity without distinction of race, gender, religion, or culture.
Guided by our motto Believe. Inspire. Serve. - we work to restore dignity, relieve hunger, and uplift underprivileged communities through sustainable, research-informed programmes that empower people to believe in themselves and aspire to a better future.
What began as a small act of service has grown into a lifeline for families facing hardship — where a warm meal becomes comfort, support becomes dignity, and generosity becomes hope.
When you donate to CAHF, you are not simply giving funds, you are feeding the hungry, strengthening communities, and becoming part of a movement that connects hearts and transforms lives.
Past Projects since 2019
Back A Buddy
Back a Buddy was initiated by the marketing team to raise R40 000 for the sole purpose of supplying bread to the hubs, which was the most sustainable food at the time.
Clothing Drive
After identifying the need for clothing in our HUB areas, the marketing team worked on the advertisement for the clothing drives. Clothing drives proved to be very successful.
Food Parcel Drive
Twice a year we have a food parcel drive, which is distributed in the month of Ramadaan and the festive seasons.
Sandwich Drive
The sandwich drive started out at the Elsies River Day Hospital at the end of 2020, providing waiting patients something to eat while waiting long hours for their appointments. By March we had to stop due to Covid lockdown, but started distributing to our hubs by October 2020.
School Stationary Drive
Education is a right to every child, however without resources it can be hard to achieve. The marketing team sent out donation request for the basic needs to get a child started at school.
Toy & Party Packet Drive
"A child's smile and happiness is worth more than all the money in the world."

Food has always been the main component in our organisation. Food menus are well planned by the feeding team. Only quality ingredients are used to ensure it provides nourishment and sustenance. Prior to Covid, food was cooked and prepared in the underprivileged communities. However, since 2021 our team have been engaged at the head office, cooking up a storm...
