THE Isuzu Foundation and Ironman 4 the Kidz are proud to continue their joint efforts in strengthening support for 13 registered Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) in the Eastern Cape.
The partnership, fuelled by the R158 000 raised from the Isuzu Ironman African Championship, Isuzu Ironman 70.3 Nelson Mandela Bay, and Isuzu Corporate Triathlon Challenge events, aims at making a significant impact in the lives of children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The funds raised through these events will be allocated towards crucial areas such as refurbishment of the charity homes, transportation fees, nutritional support, sports activities, medical expenses and, where feasible, capital projects. This support ensures that the registered NPOs continue their work in providing essential services and opportunities for children facing various challenges.
Among the organisations receiving support are:
. Eastern Province Youth Care Centre: Focused on holistic childcare and development programmes.
. Khayalethu Youth Centre: Providing care and intervention programmes for street children.
. Children’s Haven MTR Smit: Creating conditions for optimum child development.
. Heatherbank: Offering structured education programmes for children.
