MFC is a sponsor of Rally to Read, a programme that since 1998 has invested over R26 million in improving the quality of education, with a focus on literacy, in 413 remote, rural schools of South Africa.The 11th annual Rally to Read will take place in May 2008.
Annually, during the weekends in May, convoys of off-road vehicles depart from main cities across the country to deliver educational materials to some of the country’s most neglected schools. Once at the schools, Rally participants meet and interact with the learners and teachers who benefit from the books and subsequent professional development which is provided for three years by The READ Educational Trust, a McCarthy Initiative.
