Empowering Communities, Building Futures

Our Story

Founded in 2018 by Terry and Nyasha Madavo, Tenya Foundation is a Not-for-Profit Company registered under the Department of Social Development. We are driven by a deep commitment to uplifting underprivileged individuals and communities in South Africa and the Southern Africa region. Inspired by values of family, responsibility, and purpose, our journey began many years ago with community-based work and initiatives in Lehae, Gauteng, in partnership with the Mwala Foundation. Today, our mission remains rooted in the belief that collective action can make the world a better place, one person at a time.

The Power of Together

Our rallying cry is simple but profound: Together we can. Recognizing that lasting change requires collective effort, we understand that we cannot do it alone. As Helen Keller aptly said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

Why Social Impact Matters

In today’s world, where need and disparity persist, social impact is not just desirable; it is essential. Our foundation is driven by the belief that every individual, regardless of their circumstances, can play a significant role in creating positive change. Our initiatives focus on addressing critical issues such as menstrual equity, education accessibility, and community well-being.

Our Cornerstone Initiatives

Every donation counts

Health

GirlPower Vibez Project

Our flagship initiative, the GirlPower Vibez Project, strives to promote menstrual equity by combating period poverty and stigma. Your contribution, whether in funds or reusable/disposable feminine hygiene products, supports a cause we believe is a fundamental human right. Together, we can break barriers that hinder girls and young women from accessing education and economic opportunities.

Education

10,000 Books Campaign & Fees Sponsorship Drive

Education is a critical path to empowerment. Our 10,000 Books Campaign aims to fill libraries and minds, while the Fees Sponsorship Drive tackles the financial barriers preventing children from accessing quality education. Join us in bridging the education & literacy divide and fostering a brighter tomorrow.

Together we can

How You Can Make a Difference

Your support, whether through funds, donations, or spreading the word, contributes to creating a world where equality and opportunity flourish. Encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to join our cause, amplifying the impact we can collectively achieve.

Tenya Foundation is more than an organisation; it’s a movement fuelled by compassion and a shared vision. Together, we can create positive change, leaving an indelible mark on the lives we touch.

“Be a Part of the Change. Together We Can Make a Difference!”

“Always have a willing hand to help someone, you might be the only one that does.”
