Personal message

My name is Nodolo Olwethu, I am 27 years old and reside in Site B, Khayelitsha.  I have a deep love and passion for cycling.

I started at the young age of 16 and in the last 10 years, have successfully completed 9 Cape Town Cycle Tour races as well as 2 Double Century races in Swellendam. I'm grateful that I found cycling as a youngster as it kept me focused on achieving my goals. 

 I feel privileged to be a part of the Ride for a Child fundraiser with KFC Add Hope and Home of Hope, as the money I help raise, will afford opportunities that otherwise wouldn't be possible for children in need.

Please help me, help them...Molani is my little buddy and I am so excited to raise money for her. She is 11 years old turning 12 this year, when Molani was a newborn baby she was abandoned but found her forever family with Home of Hope.

She faces many challenges as a result of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder which affects her cognitively, emotionally, and mentally. The money I raise for Molani will contribute towards her education at Amathemba special needs school and her livelihood.  

The money I raise for Molani will contribute towards her education at Amathemba special needs school and her livelihood. Home of Hope is able to meet her unique needs and will do all they can to provide her with a brighter future.

Home of Hope was started in 2005, and we are an NPO that cares for abandoned and abused children and children with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD – permanent brain damage caused by pre-natal exposure to alcohol). We are a registered place of safety and we have 19 children in our long term community based foster care. 

The organisation also caters for the special educational needs of children suffering from FAS (Foetal Alcohol Syndrome) and neurological challenges, in our Amathemba Learning Centre. There are currently 37 children at our Amathemba Learning Centre.
