About Lejwe La Thuso
Established in 2010 Lejwe La Thuso with the meaning ‘Stone of Help’ was foundered by Mr. RL Molete and Mrs. SE Molete. Born out of the needs of their community the organization started operating fully in April of 2011. Lejwe La Thuso Foundation is an NPO based in Dobsonville. It was established when the founders saw the level of poverty in and around the community, taking into account the most vulnerable members of the community, the orphans, and the vulnerable children who are victims of social ills such as the AIDS epidemic. The organization has attracted so many stakeholders, reputable in the community to this day. We have access to more than 20 volunteers and 385 beneficiaries from different walks of life. The organization uses a partnership model and an associate model depending on the availability of funding and the project we are involved in, whenever we do big projects will call on our associated who supports with technical support and capacity building. Whenever we do small projects will use our in-house capacity. Lejwe La Thuso is situated right in the heart of Soweto and serves the people of Soweto with dignity.
Work To Great Growth
When Covid-19 hit our shores, the organization went on a campaign to raise funds and obtain donations from funders to support members of the community who were negatively impacted by the National Hard Lockdown. A total of 100 people were assisted through this initiative. We sourced funds to buy and donate food parcels during the hard lockdown to support Early Childhood Centres

Our Bakery Services
To sustain the organization’s activities, a for-profit bakery was established. Employing 6 people from the community is a money-generating activity on a small scale. The bakery is fast-growing and sells products such as bread, scones, cakes of all types, rolls, red cakes, and fat cakes. The support from the community is overwhelming and we wish that this bakery grows and becomes one of the biggest in Soweto and continues to employ more people, especially women.
Gardening Services
A need presented itself to feed the vulnerable members of the community, through our food garden we support the feeding scheme with vegetables. The rest of the proceeds contributed to the nutrition of our feeding scheme and serve as an income-generating activity. We sell to the community around us and continue the next planting cycle. The garden employs local people who also benefit from it.
Education
The organization offers skills development, literacy projects and well afterschool programmes. Our after-school classes for grades 6- 12 in Mathematics to supplement the work done in school.
