Neema Foundation

This week we celebrated a beautiful morning honouring our incredible volunteers and sponsors. We were especially inspired by one of our Alumni, Bjorn — now a successful business owner — who shared his powerful journey through our Neema Gateway into Reading programme.

As a 13-year-old, Bjorn faithfully attended his weekly lessons. He went from thinking he wasn't capable of ever reading to believing he could read anything. His story reminds us that the journey doesn’t end in the classroom — every word spoken and every lesson taught truly matters.

Bjorn reflected that without the Gateway into Reading programme, he might have been one of the forgotten children. Today, he stands as living proof that our Gateway into Reading programme changes lives.

To every volunteer and sponsor: thank you, we couldn’t do what we do without you. Your dedication & contribution makes stories like Bjorn’s possible and is transforming futures.

Yesterday our team, in partnership with hosted the second modular training session for schools in the Inanda area. What a joy for us all to bring hope through education through these interactive and relational building mornings.

Thank you for your generous partnership!
