As part of Hirsch's Giving Back to the Community initiatives, Hirsch's sponsored some appliances and funded a jungle gym for the children at the Ekusizaneni Children's Home. The home currently cares for approximately 50 boys and girls from the ages of 3 to 18 but does not receive any assistance from Government and gets by with donations from organisations such as the Ramakrishna Centre in Durban and with the assistance of volunteers as it cannot formally employ caregivers.
Mrs BF Mhlongo from the Ekusizaneni Children's Home, in K Section, made it her mission to care for these children and has since been a beacon of hope to destitute, orphaned and abused children in the KwaMashu area.
