Thunderbolt Casino Increases Donation to Babies Home South Africa

Thunderbolt Casino has increased its donation to the Isithembiso Babies Home this year. Its R50,000 gift is part of the South African online casino’s annual 67 Minutes philanthropy campaign, which also aims to raise awareness for the home and the many different ways people can help.


“We strive to go by the words of our Tata M and make a difference”, said Thunderbolt’s manager, Alisa. “We’re so grateful to all of our players for making this contribution possible.”

Isithembiso is an NPO that provides a safe place for children under three who have been abandoned, abused or neglected. Its vision is to see those babies placed in families that will love them as their own. It works hand-in-hand with social services to place each child in a foster or adoptive home or reunite them with their families.

The important childcare facility exists because Isithembiso refuses to let abandoned or orphaned babies remain that way.

“We’ve just got to do our part,” said Carmen Faragher, Coordinator at the centre. “Since the home has been open, we’ve helped more than 200 children. That’s 200 children whose lives have totally changed.”

“Helping out here gives me hope for more children,” said one volunteer. “There are so many more children that can be loved.”

“For someone who was destined to live on the streets, maybe living off begging or stealing, they now have a chance in a family, a chance for some education, a chance of getting a good job — of actually changing this nation,” said Eugene Marais Isithembiso’s Chairman. “There are close to a million orphaned children right now in this country, and only about 2000 a year get adopted. There’s a massive need, especially here in Port Elizabeth.”

Donors can become a Friend of Isithembiso by donating R2000 per month for three months. The Tom Kruger Memorial Cup Golf Day, November 5th, also raises funds for the centre. Isithembiso staff can assist with entries and prize donations.

Thunderbolt Casino offers hundreds of slots and table games from Realtime Gaming. As one of the most popular online casinos in South Africa, many of its games are also available in its mobile casino for smartphones and tablets. All are played in Rands and customer service is in both English and Afrikaans.
