ST TIMOTHY MOTHERS UNION  ANGLICAN CHURCH, PRETORIA DIOCESE In January 2025, the Mothers’ Union from St Timothy Anglican Church embarked on its annual school shoe donation project. This initiative supports disadvantaged learners from Walter Sisulu Primary School in Olievenhoutbosch. The project aligns with Objectives 4 and 5 of the Mothers’ Union Prayer Book: • To promote conditions in society favourable to stable family life and the protection of children. • To help those whose family life has met with adversity. This year, the shoes were purchased from My Walk School Shoes, a Johannesburg-based company that manufactures environmentally friendly footwear. The shoes are produced through a recycling process that transforms used oxygen masks and medical tubing into high-quality, durable school shoes. Colouring is added during production to create the final product. This recycling process reduces the incineration of waste from landfill sites, which helps minimise harmful emissions contributing to climate change. It also ensures that vulnerable children are protected from exposure to hazardous medical waste that could threaten their health. The shoes are comfortable and suitable for all weather conditions. A total of 103 pairs were donated by the Mothers’ Union of St Timothy Anglican Church. Compiled by: Ms Nomathemba Makam Pretoria Diocese ECHO Champion We would like to encourage all churches to get involved in this wonderful project – shoes can be purchased for only R35!
