Aids orphans are fed each day – we have literally saved lives.  This year the money will not only help with this struggle against hunger but will also ensure that the children receive improved health care, education and the chance of a better future.

This year we are asking each individual competitor to raise a minimum of €350 and each team to raise a minimum of €750.  All the money we raise will help to improve the situation in Orange Farm but will also help us to focus on two additional areas - the townships of Diepsloot and Alexandra.

MaAfrika Tikkun is an organisation that assists disadvantaged and impoverished communities in South Africa.  Amongst other things, they focus on primary health care, preschool education, skills training and care for the elderly, all of which are particular fields of expertise.  They create community centres enabling them to combine all of these services under one roof.  These facilities provide a centre of focus from which people can receive better care, education and ultimately the chance of a more enriched life.

All the above is available in an information leaflet part 1 & part 2  which you can download and print out.
