Chain Reaction: Cycling for Middelburg Care Village
The Munga 2025

💛 Why It Matters
Every child deserves a chance to grow, learn, and dream beyond their circumstances. With your support, we can break barriers and open doors for the kids of Middelburg Care Village. This is more than a charity ride—it’s about giving back in a deeply meaningful way.
📚 The Reality of Education in South Africa
📌 Only 50% of students who start school in South Africa make it to Grade 12.
📌 More than 60% of children can’t read for meaning by age 10—making literacy a national crisis.
📌 Unemployment among youth (15-24) is over 60%, largely due to lack of education and skills.
Education is more than just books and classrooms—it’s the difference between struggle and success, between uncertainty and opportunity. For many poor and vulnerable children, it’s the bridge to a better life.


🎯 The Chain Reaction Starts Here
Your donation fuels more than a race — it sets lives in motion.
When you give, you’re giving back in the most powerful way—sparking a chain reaction that changes everything for African children who deserve a chance at a brighter future.
-
$185 covers tuition for one month — so one student can learn, grow, and believe again.
-
$4,800 ensures 26 children stay in school, supported by resources they often lack, and equipped to rise beyond poverty.
-
$58,000 covers a full year of tuition for all 26 Middelburg Care Village students — a year of showing up to class, being surrounded by possibility, and daring to believe in a different future.
Any amount adds power to the pedals and keeps the momentum going. ❤️
