The Wild Women on the Run have not only explored the breathtaking beauty of the Wild Coast but have also made a significant impact on the lives of those in need through generous charity donations.
East London, South Africa (26 September 2024) – Embarking on multi-day trail runs along South Africa’s stunning Wild Coast, the Wild Women on the Run (WWOTR) team has not only been staying active and forging lasting friendships over the years but has also raised vital funds for three important charities.
At the end of August, WWOTR was delighted to announce that they had successfully donated money to these worthy causes.
A generous R10,000 was handed over to Busfare Babies Birth Centre, R32,500 to African Angels School – A school for the community of Chintsa as well as R32,500 to The Kings Children’s Home.
“Our charities are forever grateful for the support and we take this opportunity to thank all the wild women and their families and sponsors who generously donated to our mission
“Over the 13 years, we have been able to raise just short of R2,5 Million Randellas for our three charities in South Africa with the help of our sisters in Beijing,” shares member Lisa Van Wyk.
The Wild Women on the Run initiative is more than just a trail-running adventure. It’s a testament to the power of community and friendship.
Giving back to the communities in which they live, has become a significant part of the the ethos of Wild Women.
The charity-driven organisation has since dedicated itself to fundraising opportunities to extend blessings to its communities. Each branch selects local charities to support that focus on women and children.
WWOTW and Wild Women Europe (WWEU) also donate a portion of their fundraising to the founding WWOTR charities in South Africa.
Their unwavering commitment to supporting local charities, coupled with their enthusiasm for the “wild side”, has created a lasting legacy of compassion and generosity!
