Ten biker friends are taking on a 92,200km journey to raise funds for the Mustadafin Foundation; the funds will be used to reboot community outreach projects affected by the pandemic.
Cape Town, South Africa (11 May 2022) – Bikers For Change are embarking on an adventure across Africa to raise crucial funds for the Mustadafin Foundation. The group of biker friends have decided that they will travel 92, 200km on motorcycles from Cape Town, South Africa to Zanzibar, Victoria Falls and Tanzania, with the objective to raise funds for Mustadafin’s Feed a Belly, Feed a Mind campaign. Their goal is to have all the kilometres sponsored at R12 each kilometre.
Mustadafin’s Feed a Belly, Feed a Mind campaign aims to provide 27 910 nutritional meals daily to learners in early childhood development (ECD) centres and pre-schools within the Western Cape and Eastern Cape.
“Some of us had the opportunity to volunteer with Mustadafin and saw the work that they do on a daily basis. We have seen and witnessed their hard work and dedication in trying to keep their projects running especially the feeding schemes. Imagine driving 40 minutes to a place just to collect 10 loaves of bread so that a child can have a meal for the day. So, this isn’t just a trip, it is a greater purpose to help those who need it most,” says Abduragman Edwards from the BikersForChange crew.
The Mustadafin Foundation had to scale back the community outreach projects during the pandemic due to the scarcity of resources. Now that things are opening up, they hope to resume the work being done in under-resourced communities.
The biker friends, made up of 10 motorcyclists, will leave and start their journey this week. They plan to send updates out at 500km intervals. You will be able to get these updates via social media.
“Our aim is to depart on the Friday, 13 May 2022 and to continue travelling in shifts for 24 hours a day, until 26 June 2022,” says Shaheed Isaacs from the crew completing the challenge.
