Members of the Trek4Mandela campaign, created by the Imbumba Foundation, recently invited guests to take part in their Drakensburg hike to promote their open day for the 2023 edition of the Mount Kilimanjaro expedition.
The Sandton-based organisation which focuses on tackling period poverty has been using campaigns such as Trek4Mandela and Caring4Girls to promote awareness for more than a decade. This is not only to inform the public on the matter but to further find solutions to the social issue.
