Rali & Makentse Mampeule (RMM) Foundation is a leading non-profit organization in South Africa. Makentse Mampeule an entrepreneur and philanthropist born and raised in Daveyton, Benoni is her mother’s first child. The African proverb “it takes a village to raise a child” defines her journey in life as her grandparents played a huge role in her upbringing which helped instill good values and be headstrong. Her late aunt took care of her when she started school at St Francis in Lakefield so it goes without saying she had a lovely upbringing raised by strong women.
The work of the foundation has allowed endless possibilities to improve the lives of about 200 families across South Africa. According to Makentse “to be part of making a positive difference even if it’s just to one person is the most rewarding part of running a foundation”. She always wanted her career to be impactful for the lives of others by choosing this path. Some of the lessons she learnt in life is that if you want anything done, do it yourself. In the world we live in today love and kindness really do make the world a better place. Your actions speak louder than words so what you do will influence others not your words.
The foundation has four pillars that focus on Global Health, Tertiary Education, Charitable Giving and Property Education. The aim is to support local and international organisations that work towards achieving universal health coverage and improve health systems across the world. As a result, they are proud to be the funding Donor of the Global Surgeries foundation. In the last two years they have hosted a charitable annual high tea which supports various worthy causes annually. The Property education platform is used to support the next generation of property and real estate entrepreneurs. Her vision for the foundation is to improve the quality of life and access to opportunity for marginalized communities across South Africa and the globe.
As a stay-at-home mom of two boys, aside from the foundation work, Makentse has small candle business which is very close to her heart. Her motto in life is to always remember “as you start, it’s not about doing great things, it’s about doing small things in a great way”. The biggest way one can support is by participating in our Charitable Annual High Tea. Keep in touch with us by following the Foundation on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook. In that way this charitable event will grow and support those who are in need to better their lives in any way possible.
