Run for Social Impact Team

At the Southern Africa (SoAfr) School of Project Management, we believe that project management is as much about delivering results as it is about delivering impact.  

We are proud to sponsor the Run for Social Impact Team, a passionate group of individuals committed to using movement, community, and purpose-driven action to support meaningful change.

Our Social Impact Project

The Run for Social Impact Team runs to raise funds for Read to Rise, SoAfrSPM’s social impact initiative that is delivering 25,000+ books to under-resourced schools and strengthening reading spaces across the country. Through SoAfrSPM's partnership with Books for Africa, the books are provided at no cost.  The team's mission is to raise the funding needed to cover the shipping and delivery that brings them into Namibia and into the hands of learners who need them most. 

Every kilometer they run is a clear message: Children deserve books.  Schools deserve reading spaces.  Communities deserve opportunity.  Every NAD raised helps a child rise through imagination, literacy, and learning.

Why We Run

Across Namibia, too many children still grow up with limited access to age-appropriate books and dedicated reading spaces. Read to Rise is our response.  This project is a practical, nationwide effort to increase access to English-language books, strengthen school libraries, and help learners discover the joy and power of reading.  The team's goal is bold, but achievable: 25,000+ books delivered and reading spaces strengthened nationwide.
