We find people in disadvantaged communities who are trying to uplift and support those around them and we give them the tools to do it
LACE UP 4 CHANGE
Community Projects
The communities we work with are Strandfontein informal settlement, Tafelsig in Mitchells Plain and New Horizons. We have provided resources in the form of pots, gas burners and ingredients to people in these communities to enable them to cook for their neighbourhoods. One pot of food feeds 250 people and many times this will be their only hot meal for the day.

This project brought the love of running and helping those less fortunate together under the name “Boeber Run” and has continued to grow into a community of runners and walkers providing support.
Basic meals such as bread, rice, and maize meal are often provided to disadvantaged communities, and we have also done grocery hamper drives to support these communities.
