You may ask why a foundation will start a hiking club?
Well, the answer is simple.
TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPORTS FOR CHILDREN IN NEED
By becoming a registered participant, your registration fee will play a direct role in
helping underprivileged children in access sports programs. These initiatives not only encourage
physical activity but also provide children with valuable life skills, improve their self-esteem, and
promote teamwork and discipline
WHAT IS THE MOTIVATION BEHIND OUR CLUB
- To establish Hiking Clubs for the general public that focus on helping us to make a difference in our community and growing the base of active, healthy, happy and fearless hikers in the country.
- To create a family-based experience that is not threatening or intimidating to social hikers who are interested in staying fit, socialising or simply enjoying a healthy lifestyle and improve their sporting ability.
- To make a difference in a child’s life
WHY IT MATTERS
Many children in need lack access to extracurricular activities, especially sports, which can have long-lasting benefits for both their physical and mental health.
By contributing to this cause, you're giving children a chance to thrive, both on and off the field.
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to play, learn, and grow. Your support is making a real difference in their lives.
It's never too late to take to the roads and become part of our team.
