Mzimkhulu Trust- Education made free for everyone

My name is Anathi Aphiwe Twaku. I'm a runner for the London Marathon and a social entrepreneur. I love raising money for children's charities and projects. Many children were raised by my late grandmother, including her siblings, grandchildren, and extended family members. South Africans are used to helping communities and children by taking part in projects that help alleviate future problems, such as unemployment, poverty, and teenage pregnancy, as well as providing education and decent homes.

I am continuing my grandmother's legacy by taking on the challenge of running the London Marathon to raise funds for Mzimkhulu Trust. The Lorraine Poswa Mzimkhulu Pre-School in Libode, Eastern Cape, South Africa, will be able to build boreholes that will provide running water for its rural community, using this funding as a beneficiary of the funds. The funds will also build additional buildings for the school so that more children in the village can receive free education, pay the staff at least a decent minimum wage to support the children, and address future issues.

Your support in raising funds will enable us to help one more household achieve a better future through education and provide more staff with decent-paying jobs--something we would greatly appreciate. Your contribution will also help reduce the high unemployment rate in South Africa.

Let us live up to the African proverb "it takes a village to raise a child" in the spirit of umntu ngumntu ngabantu (a person is a person through other peoples), and support the trust to raise innocent minds and hearts.

Sports For Ubuntu, a social club for running and mental well-being, secured London Marathon slots for its members. The members of Sports for Ubuntu run their own race and their motto is "We run, we raise, we rise."
