Last month, Over-All Gear donated 100 pairs of girls Toughees school shoes to Inchanga Primary School, situated in Kwa Zulu Natal. Seema Raghuibar, Director of Over-All Gear visited the school and noticed that many learners did not have school shoes. Over-All Gear had leftover stock from their school run so they decided to donate to the school.
Established in 2008, Over-All is a long-standing customer of Bata, they specialize in safety wear and large scale printing for small and major businesses in and around Durban.
According to Swastika Juggernath, Marketing Manager from Bata South Africa said “Bata South Africa commends Over-All Gear for taking this opportunity to better the lives of children in their outlying community. Improving lives, with a specific focus on children and providing an opportunity for them to improve their potential is a key focus of the which is played out through Bata Children’s Programme (BCP)”.“A pair of shoes not only protect a child’s feet but provides them with the confidence,” added Juggernath.
The handover was attended by Seema Raghuibar, a director of Over-All Gear.“This school, unfortunately, receives little support and buildings in the school are dilapidated as a result of wear and tear. Despite the difficulties, the school boats well-mannered and respectful learners, supported by teachers who go far beyond their call of duty to assist the learners,” said Raghuiber.
