The ReStory Foundation, grown from the Bhambayi Project, empowers the marginalized, especially orphans and vulnerable children and youth, to be courageous agents of change.
Our mission is to ignite positive cycles of living and giving. Through this identities are strengthened, trauma resilience develops, and agency grows. As a result, lives are restoried and narratives changed across the nation.
Founded in 2007 as the Bhambayi Project, the ReStory Foundation is a registered non-profit organisation and section 18A company, with level 1 B-BBEE rating.
Bhambayi, Inanda, one of the most disadvantaged and shunned communities in South Africa, continues to be a core focus. The learnings and impact there inform our broader work. This is essential to our vision - enabling the marginalized that we have journeyed with to be part of a far greater impact.
Every aspect of the work we do tells of a changed story, whether in the lives of the orphans and vulnerable children, unemployed young adults, the givers and donors, the way justice is challenged for those that need it most, or the way in which mindsets are challenged and changed.
Breaking Cycles. Changing lives.
The ReStory Foundation believes that how we operate is as important as what we do. Our aim is to propel people out of material poverty through the programmes and models developed through the work done in Bhambayi.
Our measure of success is not people fed, clothed, or trained, but lives fundamentally changed. And through this change, building society, and so impacting the nation.
