About Us
Carrying Forward a Vision of Hope
The Matele Foundation was born from the unrealised vision of Keith Matele — a belief that every young person deserves the chance to discover their purpose, develop their talents, and lead meaningful change in their communities.
Built around five transformative "Movements" — Dream, Foundation, Journey, Impact, and Invitation — and guided by our 2026–2031 Strategic Framework, we work to create lasting change through programmes that address the real needs of young people in Sachangwan and beyond.
