“I was the first person in my family to finish high school with a matric exemption. But when application season arrived, we had no money for university application fees or travel into the city center.”
Finding Support with Givers Hands
When Thabo connected with Givers Hands, our bursary access team covered his initial application costs and paired him with an IT systems mentor who met with him weekly throughout his diploma studies.
“Mentorship kept me accountable. Today I am a junior developer at a leading payments gateway and can support my younger siblings.”
