Our Work

ROOTED

Transforming Lives Through Action, Advocacy, and Access

At the Mbasa Qilingele Foundation, our work is rooted in the belief that every young person — regardless of ability — deserves opportunity, dignity, and support. Through hands-on initiatives, strategic partnerships, and grassroots outreach, we create pathways to leadership, visibility, and self-empowerment for disabled youth across South Africa.

Leadership Skills Programs

We equip youth with disabilities to become confident, capable leaders through tailored workshops, public speaking training, and personal development opportunities.

Inclusive Sports Participation

Through access to adaptive sports, training sessions, and events, we promote active participation in sport as a powerful tool for confidence, health, and inclusion.

Celebrating Achievements

We proudly share the achievements of disabled youth — whether in sport, education, business, or the arts — to inspire others and challenge societal stereotypes.

Strategic Partnerships

We collaborate with like-minded organizations to run joint programs that amplify impact and expand opportunities for youth with disabilities.

Engaging Mentorship Programs

Our mentorship programs pair youth with role models who guide, inspire, and support their journey — personally, professionally, and socially.

Entrepreneurial Skills Development

We support youth in building sustainable futures by providing entrepreneurship training, business development resources, and skills for economic independence.

Policy & Advocacy Engagement

We champion the rights of disabled youth by engaging with both government and civil society to shape policies that are inclusive, empowering, and equitable.

Disability Awareness & Advocacy

Through powerful media campaigns, storytelling, and social platforms, we raise awareness about the daily challenges faced by persons with disabilities, advocating for empathy and action.
