Honouring Edufundi’s Journey
We share news that we know will come as a shock to many in our Edufundi family. After 26 meaningful years of walking alongside teachers and school leaders across South Africa, Edufundi will officially close its doors at the end of November 2025.
Despite determined efforts to secure funding for 2026, it became clear that continuing operations would not be possible. After thoughtful reflection, we chose to close with integrity and care, honouring all that has been achieved.
Though our organisational journey is ending, the heart of Edufundi will live on in our partner and alumni schools — in classrooms where strong teaching endures, in leaders who guide with purpose, and in learners who continue to unlock their potential.
We close with full hearts, knowing our work will continue in the hands of others. It has been our privilege to serve the teachers, schools, and communities who welcomed us into their learning journeys.
To our Edufundi team — thank you for giving your all, for showing up, and for believing in this work to the very end.
To all who have been part of this story, past and present — our board, funders, partners, educators, and friends — thank you. Your trust, commitment, and belief have helped shape lasting change in schools and communities throughout the provinces we’ve worked in.
As we close this chapter, we do so with deep gratitude and pride in all that we have achieved together.
We invite you to share a reflection or message below — a small way to honour the journey we’ve taken together and the light that continues to shine.
