What is your biggest success?
Our biggest achievement so far was successfully organising a fun run against crime in 2024.
It was a huge success. It was very well received by the community and the sponsors.
With this event, we addressed many socio-economic issues which was the crime, water shortages, lack of community involvement, lack of access to opportunities, lack of information etc. The lucky draw prize was a Jojo tank and grocery voucher. This year we aim to give away 4 jojo Tanks.
The event was highly successful and impactful.
What has been your biggest hurdle?
Our challenge has been the lack of funding and resources to facilitate these projects.
