Kagiso Trust is dedicated to creating a brighter future for South Africa’s most vulnerable communities.
Established in 1985 during a time of profound change, we have steadfastly worked towards promoting equity and socio-economic inclusion.
Kagiso Trust was established with a mission to alleviate poverty and enhance development in South Africa. Over the years, we have evolved into one of the country’s leading development agencies, known for our bottom-up approach and strong partnerships with various stakeholders, including government entities, civil society organisations, and the private sector. Our journey is marked by a commitment to innovation, sustainability, and impactful interventions. We continue to demonstrate our capability as a thought leader who inspires society and ignites human capacity to solve critical challenges faced by the country.
Kagiso Trust was born out of the anti-apartheid struggle, providing crucial support to development initiatives across various sectors. Post-1994, we expanded our focus to include education and enterprise development, securing financial stability through strategic investments and partnerships.
