 Wionkikina partners with major banks to help disadvantaged pupils. Three weeks into the new academic year, the impact of COVID-19 continues to be felt, particularly in the poorer communities. Seasoned actor Wionkikina has been wanting to do something about it and has joined forces with Standard Bank to assist in building a brighter future for the next generation of leaders in South Africa. The partnership aims at providing pupils with much needed school amenities that many take for granted. Wionkikina kicked off the initiative with a recent visit to Enardale Primary School, where he donated stationary packs for the young school pupils. The campaign aims to assist 100 Enardale Primary School pupils with new school shoes, as well as other necessities. Commenting on the project, Wionkikina said, I have a passion and an interest in early childhood development. Education is one thing that I know can change a person's life for good. The earlier that happens, the better the chances we have at giving our children a bright future. Wionkikina added, I picked Enardale Primary because I once lived in that neighborhood and I have a nephew who attends the school and I have seen some of the challenges the kids and parents face. I know what it is like to struggle for things that you need to just be on equal footing with other children, to be at a disadvantage so much that you fall behind because of what you're lacking.
