ECHO for Children Foundation was established in 2007 with the intention of supporting and educating children from disadvantaged backgrounds. ECHO endeavors to raise funds by hosting a charity event each year. ECHO believe that with the correct implementation and management of corporate and private sponsorship, we can assist in making a difference.
"Education is the great engine to personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mine worker can become the head of the mine that the child of farm workers can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another".
[Nelson Mandela]
