Background

Lesedi Larona Home of Trust (LLHT) is based in Thabazimbi, Limpopo Province. It is demographically located in semi-urban and rural areas around mining areas which come with unique challenges and considerations, for example, economic instability, health risks, environmental hazards, and limited access to quality education.

 It was established  in 2012 for the purpose of collecting children from streets, for safety in the afternoons. We have identified many family and societal issues that emotionally affected most children and decided to provide an academic support, for example, assisting with homeworks, offering meals and emotional support. 

We are establishing another centre in the Eastern Cape, Nyandeni Municipality, at Old Bunting Village (Katini Administrative Area). We hope that the Department of Education, local schools, local businesses and communities, under Chief Mbuyiselo Ndamase,  will support our initiative. 

Our Vision

“All that glitters is not gold”. (suggests that a learner’s background or initial appearance does not always predict their future success).

By 2030 all learners shall be independently reading, writing and solving mathematical problems well with the target achievement goal of obtaining at least 98% of learners obtain 50% in all subjects and at all levels of education.

Our Mission

1. To encourage learners to take education seriously, regardless of their backgrounds and to be aware that it is only through their hard work and commitment that can make them successful in life.

2. We are committed to work with the youth, schools, communities, and stakeholders in bringing change, development, and sustainable healthy lives through education at its broader connotation.
