WHO WE ARE

FundaSizwe is a resource centre supporting individuals, organisations and public entities that are involved in the improvement of South Africa’s education system.

OUR STORY


Inspired by a teacher with a passion for education and seeing many of her students struggling due to their households conditions and backgrounds, a couple of friends decided to use the little that they had to play their part - that is how FundaSizwe was founded. It is in this origin story that our values and mission is formed, we aim to inspire a generation of young professionals, businesses and NGOs to give the little they have for a big impact.
