The Limpopo trio has teamed up with NJM Foundation, a non-profit organisation with a vision of making a positive change. They will donate school uniforms, laptops and bursaries to the 2023 matrics from Vhuronga 2 Circuit.

According to their Instagram page, the foundation will also hand out food parcels to the community of Ha-Mashau and the surrounding areas.

The Educate Them 2024 event takes place on 28 March 2024 at Mashau Reformed Church in Venda.

Ndavi shared some inspiring words with the attendees, encouraging them to grab every opportunity with both hands and make the most of them:

"Today, when you receive these gifts, take them with gratitude and double them so that next time, you're not the one receiving but the one giving."

"There are so many lives, more than 5,000. The foundation has been supporting families and schools in the Limpopo province since 2012.

"We also sent food parcels and blankets in KZN during the time of floods, and more than 500 families benefited. Just recently, we donated food parcels and sports equipment to communities in and around the Gauteng province."

Lejoy said she resonates with the cause:

"Anything related to giving back touches me. I am passionate about helping to make a change. It starts with us in the communities that we come from. I am from Limpopo, and I'm going home to make sure that children’s education is not interrupted.

"I know what it’s like to want, and changing one child’s life makes a big difference. Many of us grew up with little, and we are now in positions to help others, so why not?"
