The organisation’s provincial manager, Nomfundo Myeza, said the main objective of Child Welfare SA is protecting children in the country from all kinds of abuse and exploitation, and establishing networks and partnerships to ensure the safeguarding of all children.
She also said the focus of the race was more about creating awareness of what Child Welfare SA Nelspruit does so companies and individuals can partner with this non-profit.
