To date, school shoes have been donated to nine schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacobs says: \u201cThe organisation was founded around sport as a medium for change, but we did not just want to drop and go. We want to do projects that empower.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacobs co-founded the organisation with Irefaan Abrahams who ran 50 half marathons in his 50th birthday year to collect the first batch of donated shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organisation has also organised other food distribution initiatives, handed over tablets and SIM cards to a school in Manenberg and completed another computer lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lab at Eastville Primary is connected to the Western Cape Education Department\u2019s portal for easy learning access, as well as literacy organisation Nal\u2019ibali\u2019s portal. The organisation\u2019s aim is to promote reading for enjoyment nationally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacobs says they will continue to support children in disadvantaged areas and encourages donations to assist them in fulfilling their mandate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To donate or to get involved, Whatsapp Jacobs on 082 882 2567 or email
