The ISUZU Foundation, a partnership between Isuzu Motors South Africa and its Dealer Network, has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to IRONMAN4TheKidz Charity and has raised close to R 350,000 for children’s charities in Nelson Mandela Bay. The total amount was raised through the incredible participation of athletes across various ISUZU IRONMAN events, reflecting the collective commitment to supporting children’s charities in Nelson Mandela Bay.
"We are incredibly proud to continue our partnership with IRONMAN4theKidz, ensuring that children’s charities receive the support they need to create brighter futures," said Alastair Hodgson, Department Executive: Business Enablement at Isuzu Motors South Africa. "Every rand raised directly contributes to essential resources, education, healthcare, and development opportunities for children who need it most."
The funds raised will be distributed among 13 beneficiary organisations, all dedicated to providing shelter, education, healthcare, and social support to vulnerable children. These charities play a vital role in uplifting communities, ensuring that children have the resources and opportunities they need to thrive. By investing in these organisations, the ISUZU Foundation continues to drive lasting change, helping to shape a brighter future for the next generation.
Since the beginning of ISUZU’s partnership with IRONMAN4theKidz in 2022, the ISUZU Foundation has donated over R1.6 million, assisting charities sustain their operations and expand their impact. The funds raised in 2025 will be directed towards critical needs such as shelter upgrades, nutritional support, transportation, and sporting activities for vulnerable children.
