Student Assistance Program (NSAP)
Our flagship program, initially known as the Ngobeni Student Assistance Program (NSAP), was founded in 2004 to support high school learners in making informed decisions about their futures. The program started with motivational talks and career guidance but has since expanded to include various forms of assistance:
- Stationery Drives: Providing learners with essential stationery.
- School Shoes Program: Donating school shoes to students in need.
- Career Guidance and Life Skills Workshops: Offering comprehensive guidance on career planning and essential life skills.
- Substance Abuse Awareness and Counseling: Helping students affected by substance abuse to regain control of their lives.

Understanding the critical role that senior citizens play in shaping communities, the foundation organizes annual events to honor and support the elderly. These events include:
- Annual Luncheon for Senior Citizens: Hosting a day of appreciation where seniors are treated to lunch, entertainment, and gifts.
- Blanket Drives: Distributing blankets to elderly individuals in rural areas during the winter months.
