About Us
NPO for the people
Bonginkosi Foundations is an established non profit foundation established in 2017 with the mission to make the world a better place, one life at a time. We strongly believe in empowering people not only to get hand outs but to provide them with skills necessary to empower them in their day to day lives.
We are an NPO for the the people and we believe that to get to the people, we employ people who are passionate about driving change and seeing people who may not have started at their best live out to the best of their potential.
We also believe that the future is in our youth and thus we are passionate about empowering them to obtain the best of their abilities. A
Empowering communities
Bonginkosi was started by a group of individuals who managed to break out of impoverished communities and thus are well versed with what the community needs and all have a vision to see things get better. The team operates on Christian principles in which is at the core of how we started the foundation.
Children are the future and to have a successful future we must invest in them by giving them the opportunities and education they need and deserve.
Nearly 60% of African population are below 25 and that percentage is growing rapidly. If given the opportunity to learn the necessary skills and if we start them off from a younger age, we believe that the can change for their communities for the better.
"Be The Change You Want to See"
Help us to alleviate hunger and extreme poverty through programs that are suited to reach the best of their ability.
What we do
Empowering The next generation to end extreme poverty and hunger
We work with communities in and around South Africa with a vision to extend our reach to to the whole of Africa and eventually across the globe. Having an African background, we are proud of our rich heritage and culture and we believe there is much wealth to be obtained from it. Some of our projects are meant to raise awareness on the importance of natural and cultural heritage,
Most of the children live in underserved rural areas we work with don’t benefit from the quality of education especially digital learning. Nearly 9 out of 10 youth in Africa between the ages of 15 and 24 – are not connected to the internet. To be disconnected in a digital world is to lose an opportunity to learn, build essential skills, and at-risk children have fewer chances to succeed. Investing in children’s education and access to technology seems to be a promising future for young people in Africa to step out of extreme poverty.
