The handover to the learners took place at Ditawana Primary School this morning. Kaya’s 959’s Breakfast Show hosts Thomas and Skhumba broadcast their morning show live from the school, adding to the excitement in the air.
The sizable donation of shoes was made possible as a joint venture between Kaya 959, Coca Cola Beverages South Africa and Shoes4Souls.
The donation put shoes on the feet of every learner, in each class, from Grade RR to Grade 3.
“The reality of the beginning of the school year is usually a daunting time for many parents who are financially challenged, and for these reasons Kaya 959, Coca Cola Beverages South Africa, Shoes4Souls and Meals on Wheels have pledged partnerships with Ditawana Primary School in Soweto to empower young learners to have a successful start to the year.” says Kaya 959’s Brand Manager Amu Mathebula.
“Ditawana Primary is a No Fee school and has various needs that the government is currently not assisting with. The needs of the school also include a board with the school’s name outside which we are servicing for them. Together with our partners at Coca Cola it was easy to see that the socio-economic factors are dire as parents are unemployed and many are child-headed households.” says Kaya 959 Station Director, Sibongile Mtyali.
