ABOUT
Spring into Action!
Get ready to stretch those legs, share some laughs, and race for a great cause! Join us for a vibrant morning of exercise, community spirit, and a whole lot of fun at our Mother Touch Spring Charity Run.
You’ll take on a 2km loop course—but watch out! A sneaky chase bike starts behind you and speeds up over time. Your mission? Stay ahead for as long as you can. Once you're caught, you're out... and the last runner standing wins!
How far can you go before it catches you?
But hey, it’s not just about being fast. It’s about having fun and giving back. We’re running to raise funds for Mother Touch Academy, so every step you take helps us make a difference.
What’s in store?
- Prizes for the last runner caught + category champs
- Mouth-watering pancakes on sale (yes, they're THAT good)
- Spoil yourself with our picnic & massage bundles – every brunch pack comes with a FREE neck massage
Don’t miss out! Lace up, bring your friends and family, and let’s run, laugh, and give back together.
We can’t wait to see you there!
ABOUT MOTHER TOUCH ACADEMY
Developing the children of Diepsloot and beyond...
Mother Touch Academy is a Not-for-Profit Organisation (NPO) which opened its doors when an urgent need was identified to provide preschool educational services to children in the impoverished Diepsloot community. The school was met with an overwhelming response from the Diepsloot community and has grown to over 90 learners today. Annually we reach our maximum capacity and must place learners on our waiting list.
We accept children from the ages of 1 year up to 5 years old. The learners are separated into 5 classes according to age and are not only stimulated mentally with lessons but are nurtured emotionally and socially.
Our Values
We commit to an effectively managed preschool with an emphasis on a quality education and ensuring that your child feels safe, happy and secure.
We provide access to affordable Early Childhood Development (ECD) education in a safe environment with caring staff.
We place importance on the core values of kindness, respect and good manners while encouraging the children’s curiosity and nurturing their desire to learn.
Our Vision
To develop the children of Diepsloot and beyond, by providing quality preschool education to children
Mother Touch Academy wishes to contribute towards South Africa achieving its commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goal 4; by 2030 all girls and boys have access to quality early childhood education, development and care.
We strive to reduce poverty and social inequality through holistic education and care of pre-primary children, including nutrition, psycho-social and remedial support.
We empower and assist black women to further their education and qualify as teachers and equip them to be leaders in their communities.
