Give your child’s old trainers a new home
Sometimes, a fairly simple idea can really strike a chord with many. Particularly if it taps into the Irish tradition of giving to those in need.
During a business trip to South Africa, Sligoman, Ciaran McHugh, along with his employer, White Calling, visited the township of Khayelitsha, the largest township or "slum" in Cape Town, in November 2018. They were there to support the efforts of the Gary Kirsten Foundation, the company's charitable cause in South Africa. He was moved to reach out to the many enthusiastic yet ill-equipped kids who were desperate to play sport in the township.
Life is tough in the townships of South Africa. Especially for kids. Over 4 million children in South Africa live in poverty.
Ciaran was both amazed by the scale of the township settlements, but also appalled by the poverty. What moved him most, though, was the positive attitude and resilience of its inhabitants, especially the children.
