Back to School for Mandela Day 2023

In many school communities across the country, parents are unable to afford school shoes, resources and uniforms for their children. Many learners continue to brave the harsh terrains travelling to school to access education, a basic human right.

This Mandela Day, Adopt-a-School Foundation is championing a school shoe drive campaign.  The campaign will be coordinated alongside a volunteer initiative that will be hosted on the 18th of July at a School in Kagiso, Gauteng.    

The Foundation calls upon individuals and corporates to partner with the Foundation and donate school shoes in a plight to restore dignity and ease the walk to school for many learners.
