DESMOND TUTU SCHOLARSHIP FUND

'Philani has provided life and hope with great commitment and loyalty since 1979...' Archbishop Desmond Tutu

In 2006, Philani's Patron, Archbishop Tutu, celebrated his 75th birthday. In recognition of this important occasion, Philani became the beneficiary of funds which enabled us to initiate the Philani Desmond Tutu Scholarship Fund, so called because it responds to positive action, rather than being a relief fund.

How the fund works

The fund benefits mothers on our Outreach programme who, despite their poverty, have shown great dedication in working with us to rehabilitate their malnourished children. Each family (2+ members) receives R 300 a month for six months or one year. This enables mothers to gain some independence and improve the lives of their children and puts them in a position to kickstart a healthy family life, less vulnerable to such problems as HIV/AIDS, with the prospect of long-term sustainability.

Currently 72 families are enrolled, but the more money we are able to raise for this purpose, the more families will benefit.
