Welcome to the Ngobeni Foundation
The Ngobeni Foundation is a decade-old initiative that began as a heartfelt passion of one man and his dedication to serving his community. What started as Pastor Lebohang Ngobeni’s mission has evolved into a powerful movement of faith-driven volunteers committed to uplifting communities and creating life-changing testimonies. Since 2008, Pastor Ngobeni and his wife, Thobile, have spearheaded this foundation, originally focused on empowering youth in rural areas. Over time, it became clear that grand-parents play an essential role in these communities, prompting the foundation to expand its reach and services.

Our Community Since

Our Work and Programs:
The Ngobeni Student Assistance Program (N-SAP) was launched in 2004 with the primary goal of guiding high school learners toward informed career decisions and better futures. Our holistic approach covers essential needs.
In addition to youth-focused initiatives, we also host an annual Elderly Appreciation Event, where seniors from rural areas are treated to a day of food, entertainment, and heartfelt gifts. This event is just one of our many outreach projects.
