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.
