Stride with Purpose: Highway Half Marathon Continues to Ignite Hope through Education

In the picturesque town of Mankayane in Eswatini, the spirit of unity and philanthropy converged once again as the Highway Covenant Tabernacle Church successfully hosted the third edition of the Highway Half Marathon on December 9, 2024. This annual event, aptly named the "Highway Half Marathon," is not just a test of physical endurance; it is a powerful initiative that propels positive change by raising funds for the Highway Education Foundation.

The Highway Half Marathon has become a beacon of hope for the local community, offering a tangible way for individuals and corporations to contribute to a brighter future. In 2024, the event reached new heights, drawing participants from all walks of life to join the cause of empowering young minds through education.

This year's edition aimed to raise an ambitious E150,000.00, a goal set with the unwavering belief that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. The funds generated from the marathon go directly to the Highway Education Foundation, which plays a pivotal role in identifying and supporting promising students on their academic journey.

As the vibrant town of Mankayane gears up for the fourth edition on December 7, 2024, there is a resounding call to action. The success of this initiative hinges on the collective efforts of the community, and organizers are extending an invitation to both seasoned runners and first-time participants to lace up their sneakers and join the cause.

Corporate entities and compassionate individuals are not just encouraged but urgently called upon to contribute to this worthy cause. Your support can make a lasting impact on the lives of aspiring students, providing them with the means to pursue their dreams and create a positive ripple effect in their communities.

In the words of Pastor S.T. Khumalo, the visionary behind the Highway Half Marathon and founder of the Highway Education Foundation, "Education is the cornerstone of progress, and every step taken in the marathon is a step closer to empowering future leaders. Together, we can be the driving force behind change."

Proceeds from the marathon will directly contribute to funding the upcoming academic year for students identified through the Highway Education Foundation's comprehensive program. By participating or contributing, you are investing in a brighter tomorrow, where education becomes a beacon of hope for those who need it most.
