Hello, I’m Marco Grobbelaar, and I need your help to make a real difference in the lives of children in Beira, Mozambique. This March, I’ll be taking on a 250km multi-stage ultra marathon across the Atacama Desert in Chile, one of the toughest physical challenges I’ve ever faced. But I’m not doing it just for myself. I’m doing it to give back to the children at Kedesh Sanctuary.

Kedesh Sanctuary is an orphanage that provides a safe, loving home for children in need, offering them education and opportunities to build a better future. Right now, the children at Kedesh Sanctuary need something essential to help them with their daily lives: Mozambikes.

I’m raising funds to donate 20 Mozambikes to the children at Kedesh Sanctuary. These bicycles will give the children the freedom to travel to school, access healthcare, and connect with the community. It will empower them to become more independent, and ensure they don’t miss out on the opportunities they deserve.

By donating to this cause, you’ll be directly helping to provide these bicycles, which are a vital resource for children. Your generosity will make an incredible impact, offering them a chance to thrive in a way that might not be possible otherwise.

I’m pushing myself to the limit in this race, and I hope you’ll join me in supporting this cause. Every donation counts, and together, we can change the lives of these kids.

Thank you for your support and kindness. Let’s make this a journey that changes lives for the better!

Phedza Aphale is a national association, located in Beira, Sofala Province, promoting activities in Youth Entrepreneurship and Economic Development, Culture, Assistance and Social Inclusion, Health, Sports and Exchange between young people from different communities.

The association developed the project, with the objective of supporting girls aged 12 to 20 years old from the communities of Munhava and Manga so that they do not leave school, as a consequence of the lack of transportation. Some of these girls are orphans of parents and others their relatives live only from agriculture, pastoralism, and street sales, which means that they cannot always guarantee their daughter's school sustainability.

These girls from the communities of Munhava and Manga, they travel distances of 5 to 12 km on foot to get to school, so they are forced to wake up at dawn to help with homework and when go to school or to the agricultural course, they already arrive tired and without concentration to watch the lessons or even end up missing, causing them to have poor school performance.

Rarely they take public transportation, as their parents or family members cannot afford it, as it would ultimately affect the family's own livelihood. Even when they have to go to the fields, they travel long distances, because the fields are far from their homes.

The campaign intends to collect 14 bicycles for these girls, where the bicycle will be able to change their lives significantly, since they will be more willing to absorb the contents of classes in a profitable way, at the same time, which will also facilitate their daily chores at home, helping them to have more time to study for a good school performance. And so, we will reduce school dropouts and premature marriages.

This campaign will provide:
