It is with profound sadness that Charity Shares for Children NPC has learned of the untimely passing of our former colleague, Monica Singer.

As Strate (Pty) Ltd CEO, Monica was instrumental in forming our unique charitable grantmaking initiative. This sees the collation of odd-lot shares from stockbroker-managed portfolios, the monetising of these, and the distribution of resultant funds to organisations working with children-in-distress across our country.

Monica served as an engaged Director of our non-profit company from inception in 2002 through to 2017.

In this, she brought quiet relief to children trapped in dire circumstances. Monica was an important part in expanding the horizons of life’s opportunities of thousands of young people across South Africa.

Charity Shares for Children wishes the Singer family a long life.
