Interest grew from walking participants and more support from local businesses managed to carry the costs of organizing a safe and fruitful charity walk. Our drive has always been to sponsor children in school with necessities such as school shoes, uniform, hygiene wear for the young girl’s and stationery to assist with their schooling.
To date, this initiative has donated thousands of school shoes and has impacted hundreds of children over the 11 years of its existence.
