Their  story matters!

“I give to Thembalitsha because they empower and change the lives of children, the youth and adults through their Education, Training and Healthcare Education initiatives.

I have always had this strong personal conviction since childhood; The more you have, the more you should give. The more privilege the more responsibility you have to help others… It’s a personal conviction but I hope that others can carry the same conviction too.”

My story matters!

My journey with School of Hope started in 2008 when my dad enrolled me for Grade 10. I remember that year being extremely challenging, because of my health. Prior to 2008, I dropped out of high school because I deemed my circumstances to be more important than my education.

Many people crossed my path and encouraged me to return to school, the desire grew stronger with time, but at the time I could barely take twenty steps without being exhausted (this is no exaggeration). I matriculated in 2010 as valedictorian; what I wanted to do after high school seemed blurry, but deep down I knew that I wanted to work with young people.
