Giving materials
As a rural government hospital we often face huge challenges when trying to get items to the people who need them. Below is a 'wish list' of things that we would love to have, some very big and others very small. If you are coming to Zithulele and would like to bring something please consider choosing an item from the list. Equally if you would like to make a donation towards funding a particular item then see our ‘donate now’ page for details of how to give and let us know where you want the funds to be directed.
Please do not post large items to the hospital, as they may not get to us! If you have items you would like to donate but are not planning to come here yourself then contact us and we will see if there is any way someone else may be able to collect them from you.
