Why We Provide School Jerseys
The Fudumala School Jersey Drive exists to provide school jerseys to learners in need and restore their sense of dignity. A warm jersey is more than clothing. It is a signal that someone cares, that a child belongs, and that learning can happen without the distraction of cold.

Breakthrough Year
With the Sandvik corporate partnership, the Fudumala School Jersey Drive delivered 570 jerseys across 12 schools in Tembisa. This was the campaign's biggest year and proved the model could scale with the right support.
