My Tiny Nuggets of Treasure
Sit still Thobani! Stop turning around Phindi… Young man if you don’t start writing that work is going to write by itself… Aahh the famous lines of teachers in the moments when we are almost at our wit’s end…
The needs of our schools during COVID-19
During the COVID-19 lockdown, Edufundi has stayed in contact with beneficiaries in order to continually assess and respond to their needs.

Shaun’s team accumulated and packed groceries and ventured out into the deep, rural areas to distribute these hampers. During level 5 of lockdown, 2000 families were assisted, but this number increased to 5000 and more donations were sought.

No matter what they are doing, when they hear the call of someone in need, they drop everything and take action, often risking their own lives and sacrificing their own needs.
