Led by CDM Executive Mayor Cllr Mamedupi Teffo, the foundation continued to champion education as a key driver for unlocking opportunities and transforming lives.

Rooted in the foundation’s pillar of Education Access and Support, the programme sought to empower young people and advance academic excellence through structured educational activities and competition.
The launch brought together key stakeholders in education, including schools and learners, in a shared effort to strengthen literacy development. It was also graced by Mmakgoshi Mmanare Moloto, who emphasized the importance of education-focused initiatives in shaping future leaders.
More than just a competition, the programme was positioned as a platform that built confidence, inspired creativity, and cultivated a culture of reading aimed at long-term academic and personal development.
