The 2024 Courage to Care Campaign has wrapped up, and we’re excited to share the impact it had across the Western Cape and Eastern Cape. A total of 21 MOT sites took part, with schools, colleges, and organizations coming together to help those in need.
This year’s campaign focused on two big projects:
In both the Western Cape and Eastern, our sites all contributed in collecting bottle tops, bread tags, and bread bags for recycling. These items were provided to the Sweethearts Foundation, which will recycle them and donate a wheelchair to someone in need.
Our MOT Coaches in Burgersdorp, Eastern Cape, launched a campaign to collect toiletry items to support learners in schools and the local community. These donations made a meaningful impact by providing families with access to essential care items. The Burgersdorp Social Development team also played a proud and active role in helping to gather these contributions.
Our MOT Coaches and MOT Youth at Port Elizabeth TVET College also showed the courage to care by donating sandwiches from their Hospitality students to a local old age home. The residents were so thankful for the kind gesture!
We are so proud of all of our partnering schools, colleges, and organizations that participated:
In the Western Cape: Fairmount Secondary School, Gardens Commercial High School, Zeekoevlei High School, Pebbles Project, College of Cape Town, False Bay TVET College, West Coast TVET College, and their campuses, and STADIO Higher Education, Centurion Campus.
In the Eastern Cape: Eureka Primary School, Ethemberni High School, Mzimkhulu High School and Port Elizabeth TVET College.
Each site worked hard to collect donations, involving students, teachers, and their local communities to make the campaign a success.
The results of the campaign were amazing as we were able to contribute to providing the gift of mobility to those who need wheelchairs.
MOT Coaches in Burgersdorp also led an additional campaign to collect essential toiletry items for local schoolchildren in need. Supported by community businesses, the initiative provided meaningful assistance to those who required a little extra help.
“It feels so good to know that collecting something so small, like bottle tops, can make a big difference for someone else. This campaign showed us that even small efforts matter.”
“The toiletry drive really brought our school together. It reminded us how important it is to look after others in our community.”
The Courage to Care Campaign is all about showing kindness and helping others. It’s a reminder that small actions—like collecting items or donating toiletries—can change someone’s life.
Thank you to everyone who participated and supported this campaign. Your efforts have made a big impact, and together, we’ve shown the true meaning of caring for others.
We look forward to next year’s campaign and continuing to make a difference together!
