About Us
Why was the NPO started?
When Kumalo Foundation started In Johannesburg, South Africa in January 2025, all energies went into building a company from scratch to a stable position where the company could not only priovide the Nations reliable supporting Foundation, but also provide jobs for the local community and empower their families.
The challenges seemed overwhelming, but sustained and focused energy helping under-resourced individuals conquer these challenges, really is making a difference – even if it is one “starfish” at a time.
Kumalo Foundations co-founders, Roseline Kumalo, wanted to create a culture of caring, being real, following passions and being a part of the change. Because there is more to business than just doing business. And so our non-profit organisation evolved
Governing Body:
Kumalo Foundation is a Non Profit Company (NPC), a Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) and a section 18a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) and therefore has a board of directors who are also members of the company. The directors set the strategy for the organisation and approve allocation of funds towards projects in order to pursue the strategy. The advisory is put in place as an accountability tool for the board.
Strategy:
Our strategy is best visualised by our Kumalo Foundation Cycle which exists of four elements, being develop, produce, reinvest and trade. Our initial involvement in each project area is purely focused on the development of this particular community.
We develop the community by implementing educational and healthcare related projects. These projects are an answer to direct needs within the community. When our beneficiaries have access to quality education and healthcare we aim to give them access to the economy through production or employment.
Crucial aspects of production are relevant training and enterprise & supplier development (ESD). Within 12 months after the initiation of the production our beneficiaries within our ESD will start trading. This should directly lead to a solid income for our beneficiaries, which makes them self-sustaining. The last part of our cycle is the part that makes it sustainable. The beneficiaries through their businesses or jobs now have a solid income and can pay for services as healthcare, training and education. This is how they then reinvest in their own community.
