FOUNDER RETIRES 

 

Dr. Margeret Elsworth retired in January 2008 after nearly four decades of dedicated leadership of this Fund.  Her vision has been instrumental in enabling the fund to assist almost 40,000 less privileged young people to complete their secondary education.  She tirelessly raised funds and identified new donors, thereby establishing the secure foundation from which we work today.

Margeret's commitment has been widely acknowledged, not only locally but internationally, and it seems appropriate that her achievements were recognised in a valedictory civic tribute, generously hosted by the Mayor of City of Cape Town, Helen Zille, and attended by many of our local sponsors.

Dr. Elsworth remains an active visionary
