Bosele Foundation

Bosele is the Tswana word for “dawn”. It is the belief of the foundation that by providing underprivileged children with learning & personal development opportunities, we will see the dawn of the African Renaissance. The Bosele Foundation is an education trust aimed at benefiting underprivileged children in resource-scarce communities by providing them with scholarships to fund their formal and extracurricular education. The Bosele Foundation not only offers economic support to its beneficiaries, allowing them access into the country’s top schools and universities, but also offers its beneficiaries exposure to professional and social opportunities otherwise denied to them because of their underprivileged backgrounds. Following a selection process, managed and implemented by the foundation, in consultation with the relevant school, the Bosele Foundation will pay the tuition and boarding fees of each recipient of a Bosele Foundation bursary. The bursary will also cover ancillary needs such as school and sports uniforms; sporting gear; and all necessary learning tools that the recipient might need. The foundation recognizes that a holistic education comprises of learning inside and outside of the classroom. The Foundation understands that children from less privileged backgrounds and diverse cultures face both academic and social challenges when placed in an unfamiliar environment. We at the Bosele Foundation also recognize that such challenges hinder the expression and attainment of a child’s true potential. Through the personal and professional networks of the trustees, the Foundation aims to offer appropriate academic, emotional, and psychological support structures including personal mentorship and life skills training to each recipient of the Bosele Foundation bursary. We aim to develop high impact, socially conscious and ethical individuals who are well equipped to take an active role in their respective communities.
