Life and Wellness Support

As a Social Entrepreneur I partner with My Walk, a non-profit organisation, who manufacture school shoes for underprivileged children. I support charities, schools, churches, and other organisations in hosting participating in events and supporting these children in need. What is unique about these shoes and what attracted me to this initiative is that the shoes are made from plastic medical waste.

These are fully recyclable school shoes that are then laced up, packaged with love, and distributed as a #gifofdignity to children who are in most need. At Life and Wellness, we look at innovative, creative ways to involve everyone at the school through projects and community initiatives. Imagine what it would be like if we walked in the shoes of a child in need.

This is made possible by participating in events and with the generous donations of business, individuals, schools, and charities who are supporting Life and Wellness, Thommy_gee_ who believe in the validity of the dreams and aspirations of underprivileged learners in South Africa.

The Life and Wellness and My Walk partnership is an example of embracing a circular economy. It shows how a green solution can fulfil a material need for an organisation while simultaneously benefitting society – in this case by supporting education, job creation and enterprise development.

The partnership further demonstrates the meaningful and wider impact that an innovative approach to solving societal challenges can have.

This initiative, that has an amazing positive impact in the lives of our children, our planet, and our economy, is a great passion for all of those involved!
