As we honor the legacy of Mwalimu Julius K. Nyerere, we are reminded that nation-building isn't just a dream, it’s a journey. A journey fueled by unity, compassion, and our shared love for Tanzania. 🇹🇿 Together, We Can! #LegacyInMotion #CommunityImpact #PedalForPurpose #TwendeButiama24 #CyclingForACause #PamojaTunaweza

⚽ Kanu's kickin' it with purpose – goals on and off the pitch. 🏠 We had the privilege of hosting the decorated Kanu Nwankwo, a football legend and a true champion on and off the field, as we gear up for our community ride this Sunday, September 15th, ahead of the annual Vodacom Twende Butiama Cycling Tour. His compassion and commitment to improving children's health and education through his foundation deeply resonate with our own mission of supporting well-being and raising awareness for NCDs. Kanu’s presence amplifies our shared vision for a healthier, more educated future. Together, we pedal for purpose. #TwendeButiama #RideForACause #CommunityRide
