Youth's
Our youth initiatives are some of our most treasured tasks. Learnerships, mentoring and entrepreneurship development are our foremost programmes for the youth.

Family
Our family initiatives aim to build culture through the family structures and positive customs that will result in a progressive heritage.
We recognise that there are no platforms and initiatives that can guide families on integration with the application of values and cultural systems with the African value systems structure is the blue print. The foundation’s family initiatives are most motivated to build positive customs that will result in a progressive heritage and culture, through the family structure.

Community
We are committed to enhancing the quality of life and fostering an environment of empowerment in communities in South Africa.
The Northern Cape Province, has been the first province that the foundation has targeted. In the Northern Cape the following initiatives have been undertaken.
Tswelopele Pre-Primary School – The foundation, Kalagadi Manganese and its partners, built new classrooms and ablution facilities for the young ones, as well as furniture and learning tools to facilitate an environment that encourages learning and is safe for their charges Makgologwe Junior Secondary School – Along with Kalagadi Manganese to donate laptops as well as building upgrades. The school had fallen into disrepair and the fence and classrooms needed refurbishment. Along with the hardware, we brought motivating factors to encourage the learners further. To commemorate the month of Stanley’s passing, the foundation launched the housing initiative by donating eight (8) houses in four villages, to the most distressed families in the area. Aware of the socio-economic implications of HIV and AIDS in South Africa, the foundation is currently researching and evaluating initiatives to educate and provide aid to people affected.
The foundation participates in community outreach programmes including public lectures and workshops that seek to motivate and share knowledge. Initiatives that celebrate life and heritage are important and supported by the foundation, one such initiative is the bi-annual Heritage Green Concert in Bothlaros in the Northern Cape.

Housing Projects
The lack of housing in South Africa is a well-documented challenge, The housing backlog reportedly stands at 2.3 Million and is rapidly growing each year.
Neither the public nor the formal private sector appears to be able to close this gap, however the foundation in trying to resolve this issue has built houses and handed over title deeds to previously disadvantaged and vulnerable South Africans.
