About Us

Tumelo ke Lethabo means “Faith is Joy”. We exist to bring hope where it is needed most.

Our Story

Tumelo ke Lethabo Foundation was founded with a simple yet powerful belief: every family deserves food on the table, every child deserves a chance at education, and every person deserves dignity — even in death.

We work in communities across South Africa, partnering with local leaders, churches and schools to identify the most vulnerable and respond quickly with practical help.

Our name reminds us that faith and joy can exist even in the hardest circumstances — and that together we can restore both.

A calling to serve

Tumelo ke Lethabo Foundation was founded in 2021 by Mrs. Tumi Tshidi-Khumalo, a published author and experienced financial services professional with a strong background in banking and financial management. Having worked for two major banks and accumulated nearly 15 years of experience in the financial sector, she developed a deep understanding of community development, economic empowerment, and social responsibility.

In 2021, Ms. Tshidi-Khumalo felt a calling to dedicate her time and resources to philanthropy and community upliftment. What began as a mission to feed the homeless soon expanded into a broader initiative aimed at supporting vulnerable communities. Through the foundation, she has led food parcel distribution programmes for underprivileged families, child-headed households, and individuals facing financial hardship.

Compassion in action

Driven by compassion and a commitment to restoring dignity, the foundation seeks to make a meaningful impact by addressing food insecurity, promoting education, and supporting community development initiatives. Under Ms. Tshidi-Khumalo's leadership, Tumelo ke Lethabo Foundation continues to serve as a beacon of hope for disadvantaged individuals, inspiring positive change and encouraging a spirit of giving within communities.

The foundation's vision is to build stronger, healthier, and more self-sustaining communities by providing both immediate relief and long-term support to those in need. Through partnerships, volunteerism, and community engagement, Tumelo ke Lethabo Foundation remains committed to transforming lives and creating opportunities for a brighter future.
