Zenith Africa, founded by Akhona Mdawe, was born out of concern during the 2020 lockdowns, when access to basic essentials was limited. That question lit a fire.
What began as an attempt to create biodegradable pads from banana fibre waste eventually evolved into something more impactful. A solution that is not only sustainable but restores dignity and choice.
We exists because no one should have to struggle through their period.
Co-founded by youth development leaders Viwe Gilbert Bonga and Athenkosi Excellence Mashicila, Tshilidzi Project is a nonprofit that works in under-resourced schools across Cape Town, especially in areas like Philippi. The organisation provides academic support, mentorship, and personal development programs to students who face financial and systemic barriers.
Tshilidzi Project currently serves over 200 Grade 8 and 9 learners, offering tutoring in core subjects (English, Maths, Science, Life Orientation), debate and public speaking training, and mentorship for life and career readiness.
