Who we are


Reneilwe Foundation is an NPO that aims to bring the "real world" to the remotely located learners by making available required information and thus opening their eyes to opportunities. Rural children face many limitations that compromise their learning, therefore we intend to bridge that gap.
Reneilwe foundation was founded by Mr Sesalela Martin Kgatla in 2018. The foundation was named after his daughter Reneilwe Kgatla who passed on still born in December 2015.

The idea to start this Non Profit Organization was inspired by the following:
   The lack of career advice, expo and exhibition for the rural schools and communities by the government, State owned entities and private sector.
   Lack of community development programmes/campaigns targeting rural areas.
   To create something that would be a remembrance legacy for the late daughter, Reneilwe.

We are aware that interventions at later stages i.e (high school) may not be sufficiently effective thus the organisation looks at the education system as a whole (i.e. from early childhood development through to workplace transitioning). We believe this is the how the rural communities will be empowered.
