Frequently Asked Questions

R350 sponsors one jersey for one learner. This covers the cost of the jersey, branding, packaging, and delivery to the school.

All jerseys are delivered to schools in Tembisa, Ekurhuleni, Gauteng. The campaign focuses on schools with the greatest need, identified through partnerships with local educators and community leaders.

Sponsor a jersey, post about it on social media with #FudumalaUbuntuChallenge, tag 3 friends, and challenge them to do the same. It is that simple. One sponsor becomes four, four become sixteen, and the warmth keeps spreading.

You can sponsor from anywhere in the world. The Sponsor a Jersey button uses PayFast, which accepts major international Visa and Mastercard cards.
