Story

Join us in getting fit and banishing the post-Christmas blues while helping to feed South African children in need. Poverty and hunger were rife in South Africa , even before COVID 19 struck. It is now much worse. Pre-school children suffer most as poor nutrition affects both their mental and their physical development. But together we can make a difference.

Join us as we virtually trek 2,300 miles around South Africa, visiting all our projects - from Port Elizabeth in the south to Ermelo in the north. You can cycle, walk, run, scooter or skate - all we need from you is a small donation* and updates on the miles you have covered and we will send you reports on where we are in our trek.

*£10 for one adult, £5 for one child or £20 for a household. If you wish, you can also set up your own Events page on Just Giving and get sponsorship.

About £20 will feed a child with a bowl of fortified and enriched porridge for a whole school year. All the money we raise will go directly to the point of need.
