Welcome to Walking The Talk Foundation

We’re Non-profit Charity Organization

After a storm devastated KZN, Dale van Blerk of Walking the Talk Foundation walked 1850 km to assess damage. 

His Mission: raise awareness, gather funds to build classrooms. He found not just storm wreckage, but also preexisting educational facility shortages.

Empowering tomorrow’s learners, today. Through innovative, community-driven fundraising, we rebuild, equip, and sustain safe schools providing classrooms, clothing, and meals to ensure every child has a bright future.

To bridge the resource gap, we empower South African schools to take action. Our pledge is to provide the means through partnership and fundraising events to repair, rebuild, and equip safe, modern learning environments that children and communities deserve.
