ABOUT US

OUR STORY

Since our inception, the Remi Foundation has been dedicated to providing meaningful support to high school students across South Africa. We proudly offer eight scholarships, each encompassing a five-year commitment that covers school fees, uniforms, stationary, and a comprehensive mentorship program.

 

Our foundation was born out of a commitment to making a lasting impact on the lives of young individuals seeking education, and we are proud to have provided scholarships to eight students from Steenberg High School (Cape Town) and Waverley Girls High (Johannesburg).

​

The Remi Foundation was founded in memory of Remi Olowolagba, a beloved friend whose bold and kind spirit continues to guide our mission. Remi stood for the transformative power of education and the positive impact it can have on individuals and communities. His legacy lives on through the existence and philosophies within the Remi Foundation.
