Through research, the MWF has identified the rural areas in South Africa as a place to begin because this is where children need assistance the most. In many rural areas across South Africa, children have to walk (bare foot) long distances in order to get to school. One of the projects that the MWF is undertaking every year is to collect shoes for these children. Another project undertaken by the MWF is the one of sanitary towels. Some children in the rural areas miss out on a number of school days during an academic year because they cannot afford to buy sanitary towels. These are but a few projects that are undertaken by this foundation.
