ENGAGE FOR GOOD

UTHANDO

ENGAGE FOR GOOD AT THE BESTCITIES GLOBAL FORUM

At this year's Global Forum we collectively will be raising funds for Uthando.

You will earn points by engaging prior, during and after the event and the more points we accumulate as a group the more funds will go towards Uthando.

We will also be recognising the most engaged participant during Global Forum, so let's all engage for good!

UTHANDO WASTE TO WONDER CAMPAIGN

Goal50 Campaign

Goal50 Early Childhood Development Centre will be built out of 5,000 tyres, 12,000 plastic bottles filled with rubbish, 6 000 film-set waste, glass bottles and other waste materials! 

In communities like nearby Heideveld, high-quality Early Education Facilities & After School Programmes are few and far between. Goal50 ECD changes this narrative, fostering solid educational foundations & providing safe spaces for 300-500 youth each year!

A broad array of services for the community

Goal50 will comprise of an educare for children aged 3-6, a daycare for babies, and will include a library, and an IT lab for primary and high school students. Meals will also be prepared for children throughout the day, ensuring that they receive ample nutrition!

The repurposed materials used to build the facility are free, meaning that money spent on this facility is going into the pockets of the community that is building it! 

Phase 1 was built out of 1700 tyres, and once Phases 2 & 3 are completed, 5000 tyres would have been removed from landfills in Cape Town!

HOW WILL IT WORK?

We have setup goals and points linked to these goals in our event management system. Once you complete a goal, these points will be tallied by the system to your point total. Through the attendee app you will be able to see how many points you have collected, what goals there are, which goals you have achieved and you will be able to see a top 10 leaderboard.

The height of the donation to Uthando would be determined by the accumulated points by our group:

0 - 25,000 points = Donation of $500

25,001 - 75,000 points = Donation of $1,000

Over 75,001 points = Donation of $2,500
