Support the New Image Optimist dinghy in The Great Optimist Race and help us not only make it first across the finishing line, but also onto the Fundraising Leaderboard.

We are raising funds for the Philani Maternal, Child Health and Nutrition Trust, which has been addressing maternal, child health and nutrition problems in the informal settlements surrounding Cape Town since 1979. Our programmes promote family health, focusing on the support of pregnant mothers, care for newborn babies and children as they grow, prevention of child malnutrition and the rehabilitation of underweight children. We are committed to limiting the suffering of families infected and affected by HIV and preventing the spread of the virus.
