About Us
“Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.”
Maya Angelou
A Little Bit About Our History
a smooth and enjoyable one.
Our focus is on Grade 11 and Grade 12 female learners. Each year we select learners from different high schools. These learners would have been identified by their school as showing great potential despite their trying circumstances. We support the learners financially and offer career guidance, leadership development and basic life skills. We encourage our recipients to commit to community engagement and our only request is that whoever we mentor should in turn pay it forward and mentor others to greater heights.
Receive. Rise. Reciprocate.
