Khula Kahle Charity empowers Emshukantambo matrics with essential donations
The Khula Kahle Charity Organisation visited Emshukantambo Secondary School in Pimville, Soweto, to support matric learners during their study camp by donating toiletries and menstrual products.
The Khula Kahle Charity Organisation (KKCO) visited Emshukantambo Secondary School (ESS) in Pimville, Soweto, to give back to matric learners during their school camp on November 1.
The KKCO NPO aims to empower the community, especially students, by ensuring they can complete their schooling and not drop out because they lack basic resources like toiletries.
Lindiwe Bhayi, founder of the KKCO and a former ESS learner, established the NPO after witnessing Covid-19’s impact on the community and a surge in unemployment and single-headed households. Her team also visits old-age homes in the community.

“Our main focus is to make sure our learners stay in school and are not affected by social ills like drugs or drop out because they lack toiletries and other basics, especially girl children. I tell learners that their backgrounds do not define them or determine where they are headed,” said Bhayi.
The donation included soap, toothpaste and menstrual products for the girls.
Innocentia Mathonsi, KKCO chairperson, said, “The KKCO is diverse, as I am from Emalahleni, and we also do community work there because that is my community.
“I believe we have been sent by God to do this work, hence the passion the team and I have for it. It feels great to make even a small difference in our communities.”
She shared her journey with the Class of 2025, explaining how she went to university on a bursary and, despite having no clothes, remained focused on her studies and completed her qualification.

Narvind Keshav, who has donated to the school during its annual matric camp for the past 10 years, also donated snack packs for the learners.
Educator and HoD at ESS, Pule Hlahane, was thankful for the donation.
“These kinds of donations ensure our school camps run smoothly and help our learners focus on studying and producing great results rather than worrying about what they lack. We hope our pass rate increases and that we achieve only the best. As a school, we would thank all our donors,” said Hlahane.
