Tumelo has a twin brother Tumiso. Tumelo and Tumiso's father died when they were two years old. The mother is babysitting another woman's baby with whom she makes a little money, but that is not enough to provide for her family. Thanks to sponsorship, Tumelo can go to school and build his future. Tumelo loves to play football and would like to become a judge later on.

We deliberately do not have a CBF quality mark. However, we do meet a number of important conditions of this quality mark. One of the reasons that we do not have this quality mark is the costs that are charged for this; this would significantly increase our overhead costs. We prefer to spend this money on the projects we support.
