DONT WALK 2012 is proud to support Zamcog as this year’s nominated charity. Passionate about flare, personality and independence DONT WALK’S unique style fits perfectly with that of Zamcog. Zamcog is a charity that is dedicated to the Shitima School in Kabwe, Zambia. The main aim of the school is to encourage a self-sustaining route through education, for children who can transform themselves from those who have no hope, to being those who are the hope for Zambia’s future.
Starting off by supporting just twelve street children, Zamcog’s growth and development has now opened its doors to 298 students. With the money raised from DONT WALK 2012 we hope to fund the completion of the building of a Sixth Form wing, which will prepare students for the chance to go to university, a cause very close to our hearts. It is so important to Zamcog that they ensure the school continues to grow, accommodating more children and making the school more self-sufficient whilst supporting a community co-operative. Zamcog believes in giving a hand up, not just a hand out. Opportunity is something that many of us take for granted; at Zamcog opportunity can be a catalyst that changes lives. For many Shitima is the closest thing they have to a family, and here at DONT WALK we would like to welcome them to ours.
Throughout the year DONT WALK will be hosting numerous events which celebrate our dedication to Zamcog and our ambition to champion its cause in St. Andrews. In January four members of the DONT WALK team travelled to Zambia to visit Shitima and meet the people for whom we are raising money.
