From the dusty, underdeveloped town of Tsomo arises a star that changes people's lives with one touch: the Luthando Zibeko Foundation. It is with great pleasure that we celebrate 15 years in the industry this year.
Despite all the financial and administrative challenges, we managed to push through, and we are still standing. We thank the dedication of our volunteers, who ensure that this dream becomes a reality, not only for the organization but also for those we help as we move along. Our Non-Profit Organization was established by our brother Luthando Zibeko as it is named after him, back in 2008, with the aim of giving back to the community and helping those in need. Over the years, we have helped hundreds of people, and with the help of the community we serve, we believe we will double the number of those we help in the next 15 years. We adopted Leamogetswe Children Home, and our wish is to better the lives of the children living there wefinancial wish by providing all they need. Working together, we can make this dream a reality. Cheers to 15 years! luthandozibekofoundation.co.za
