Since 2003, Hirsch’s has supported nearly 200 children per year at the Clare Ellis Brown Pre-Primary School in Durban.

The not-for-profit provides quality early childhood education to young children.

From repairing classrooms and helping to reduce their municipal rates... to providing warm meals, it's all about lighting a brighter future for the learners.
