Eight year-old from Mafikeng raises R200 000 to fight rhino poachers in North West
At six years old she decided that you’re never too young to make a difference and there’s no sign of slowing.
Two years and more than R200 000 later, young Alyssa Carter is still going strong.
Netwerk24 spoke to the young hero and her family, who’ve rallied behind her in raising money to help fight rhino poaching in South Africa.
Alyssa Carter was 6-years-old when she decided that rhinos needed her help and along with her mum and dad, started making and selling sweets with her own drawn rhino logo on them.
This past Saturday Alyssa presented the Marakele National Park in North West with two expertly trained Belgian Shepherd dogs worth around R100 000 each in their fight against poaching.
She started her fundraising in grade one at the age of six and at the tender age of eight is almost at the R300 000 mark… what have you done today to make you feel proud?
