Ukhanyo Foundation offers matric students who have failed their exams a second chance at matriculating. Twenty-five students used their services in 2022.
Sandiswa Gwele, founder and CEO of Ukhanyo, said she noticed a need to help underprivileged youth who may not have the resources to retake their exams.'All my hard work paid off': Teen who bagged 9 distinctions jetting off to Ivy League university “They lack access to a high-quality education, lack sufficient resources, cannot afford tutoring, and are generally unsupported by their own families. I feel that is where we can make the most impact.""[I] understand the power of a helping hand and a second chance. I believe that my own journey can be a source of encouragement for students. Failure is not terminal,"Gwele said.
Gwele said they have seen great success in the Western Cape and recently partnered with an intentional organisation, Women in Tech, which aims to promote education in STEM for women and girls.
