Charity Define was established in 2016 in Pretoria as a non-profit benevolence organisation set up in memory of Alan du Plessis.

The organisation is managed under the auspice of Mechanical Rotating Solutions a supplier of Mechanical Seals, Rotating and Engineering Protection & Sealing Equipment.

 

Operating mainly in our footprint area of Pretoria and Mpumalanga, the organisations main aim is to contribute to worthy causes by using the skills and available products within the managing company’s portfolio to assist various projects in upgrading and maintaining infrastructure amongst other services.  Members of the Charity Define Committee evaluate various requests for other donations or charitable events outside of theses parameters to identify suitable projects that can be undertaken by the group.

 

 

In order to grow our company, Mechanical Rotating Solutions, the parent company of Charity Define has recently moved to new premises. During this busy and exciting time we aim to fulfil the vision we always had for our company and our future. Once we find our feet at our new site and build our brand we at Charity Define will be able to give more of our time, share more of our resources and live the dream of not only making a donation, but making a difference.

 

During this festive time we urge you to remember that we give all sorts of things at Christmas: we give our loved ones presents under the Christmas tree and kisses under the mistletoe; Father Christmas give gifts to children all over the world; we give Christmas greetings to our neighbours and to our friends, and we give smiles to strangers. Christmas is indeed a very special time of year.

But there is another kind of giving that we also do, and not just at Christmas time but throughout the year. This kind of giving is directed not towards our loved ones but towards strangers. Real charity is not something you give away; it is something that you acquire and make a part of yourself. And when the virtue of charity becomes implanted in your heart, you are never the same again.
