ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
Takalani Foundation is an organization of professionals and students who dedicate their time and efforts towards bridging the current leadership gap. Our primary focus group is learners and students from rural and township communities. Through a set of interrelated focus areas, we aim and apply ourselves toward developing tomorrow’s leaders today.
“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. ” – Nelson Mandela
Our view of leadership is that it is about moving people from their current realities to preferred futures. This movement is both in the mind and physical environment. We stand by the realization that it all starts with the individual. The individual must arrive to a moment of realizing hers/his potential in order to open possibilities of a preferred future.
