Kfm 94.5 its Stationery Vehicle has visited ten locations across the country, ensuring children the school year started with the necessary tools for success. The initiative has been running on The Flash Drive with Carl Wastie since the beginning of the school year, for the second year in a row.

The station disclosed that the endeavor aims to uplift children in the community by collecting essential school supplies for those in need.

Thanks to the unwavering support of listeners and distribution partner Community Chest and the Kfm Crew driven by Suzuki, Kfm 94.5 says that the initiative raised a total of R1.7-million in kind and monetary donations. This achievement will directly benefit schools such as John Ramsay High School in Bishop Lavis, Cavalleria Primary School in Scottsdene and many others across the vibrant communities.

Carl Wastie says, “Every pencil, book, sanitary pad and every pair of shoes donated carries the power to change a child’s life. Together, we have shown that our community’s kindness knows no bounds, and I am immensely proud of what we have accomplished together. This is proof that radio has the power to change the world, and I thank every person and company for not staying stationary but giving stationery.”

The station extends its gratitude to Ackermans for their contribution of school shoes and pens valued at nearly R1-million, as well as to Community Chest for their efforts in managing stock and distribution, alongside their generous donation of R97 000.
