Tuberculosis (TB)
Although the Trust has concerned itself primarily with the upliftment of Education, it has made significant contributions to other areas of community life as well!
In 1951, the Trust donated land to The Friends of the Sick Association for TB patients. It also built the A.M. Lockhat Medical Clinic in Kwa Nyuswa, in the rural areas of Kwa-Zulu Natal.
