The plea followed a report last year highlighting the desolate community ravaged by HIV/Aids in the northern KwaZulu-Natal town.
Education authorities have since built a proper school for the area but a dining hall is needed. The Sunday Times has also pledged R10000 towards the dining hall.
The facility is run jointly with Nurturing Orphans of Aids for Humanity (Noah) - a non-governmental organisation that provides emotional and psychological support for Aids orphans and other vulnerable children. More donations are required, and readers have until the end of August.
