Story

After the success of our Causeway to Cape Challege in 2020, we decided to go back! The 2021 Cape to Causeway Challenge will take place in June. This challenge involves travelling the distance from the city of George in the Western Cape of South Africa (home of SAG) to the North Coast of Ireland .

We ask our loyal supporters to commit to walking or running each day for the whole month! You can choose your distance; 2km, 5km or even 10km per day. NB and ask your community to sponsor you!

Last year, the generosity of our supporters enabled us to complete our academic year, pay all of our staff, and support our pupils and their families with food vouchers throughout the pandemic . Thank you to those who ran and donated; 2020 will always be remembered as a year of growth.

This year, our aim is to build two new classrooms, so that we can continue to provide our pupils with the best facilities and to grow into the purpose that God has for them.

We're asking you to run with us this year and help us build a better future for our pupils.
