School Shoe Donation for Child Welfare Germiston

2 February 2026

In February 2026, By The Waters African Trade extended its commitment to community upliftment by arranging a donation of high‑quality school shoes for children supported by Child Welfare Germiston. The shoes were generously provided by My Walk, an organisation dedicated to producing durable, comfortable school shoes made from recycled materials—an inspiring model of helping people while helping the environment.

The handover was received with heartfelt gratitude by Ethel Mcathule, Operations Director at Child Welfare Germiston, who expressed how meaningful this contribution is for children preparing for the school year. For many young learners, a reliable pair of school shoes is more than just an item of clothing; it is a symbol of dignity, confidence, and the opportunity to walk into the classroom with pride.

This initiative reflects the shared belief between By The Waters and My Walk that small acts of generosity can create lasting impact, especially when they support both social wellbeing and environmental responsibility. By connecting partners who care deeply about South Africa’s future, By The Waters continues to champion the values of compassion, collaboration, and sustainable progress.

Through contributions like these, we are reminded that when businesses unite with purpose, they can help shape a brighter path for the next generation.
