Learner receiving jersey at school handover event

15 Schools Across Tembisa

Every jersey we sponsor will be delivered to schools across Tembisa.

Tembisa is one of the largest townships in South Africa, located in Ekurhuleni, Gauteng. It is home to a vibrant community of families, educators, and learners. Many children here arrive at school without proper winter clothing, and a warm jersey can make the difference between a child who is focused and learning, and one who is cold and distracted.

Why Tembisa?

The Community

Tembisa, meaning "there is hope" in Zulu, is home to over 500,000 residents. It is one of the largest townships in Gauteng and forms part of the Ekurhuleni metropolitan municipality. The community is resilient, but many families face economic challenges that make it difficult to afford school uniforms.

The Need

Winter temperatures in Gauteng can drop below freezing. For learners without proper school jerseys, cold weather means discomfort, distraction, and even absenteeism. A warm jersey is more than clothing. It represents dignity, belonging, and the ability to focus on learning.

Our Presence

The Fudumala School Jersey Drive has been active in Tembisa since our earliest campaigns. We have established relationships with school principals, educators, and community leaders who help us identify the learners who need jerseys the most. In 2025, we extended our reach to the Eastern Cape, where we donated 109 Fudumala packs in partnership with Standard Bank Transaction Banking.

The Impact

Since 2023, the drive has delivered hundreds of jerseys across Tembisa schools. In 2024, 570 jerseys reached 12 schools. In 2025, we impacted the lives of 262 learners and extended our reach to the Eastern Cape. The 2026 Ubuntu Challenge aims to put 1,000 jerseys on learners this winter.

Help These Schools
