Mark Taylor - CEO, The Elan Group
Landmines have infested massive tracts of land which otherwise could be used for valuable life-sustaining agriculture. In addition to this, families and homes have been literally torn apart by the ravages of war. The Sole of Africa undertakes to eradicate these landmines and provide prosthetic limbs to the victims, together with feeding schemes and re-establishment programmes within the communities.
This partnership between the Sole of Africa and The Elan Group will see worldwide exposure for the South African arm of this association in an attempt to acquire funding that will assist with the objectives of the global non-profit organisation. The Sole of Africa campaign is an initiative of the Mineseeker Foundation which has the backing of several noted patrons, including Sir Richard Branson and Brad Pitt and the campaign has inspired Patron Nelson Mandela to film an impassioned plea to help rid the world of this manmade problem.
