Meet Our Founder, Monica
Monica, the heart and soul behind Educare Fund, embarked on her journey to make a difference in the lives of young women in Lesotho after a transformative visit to the region in 2010. Witnessing firsthand the challenges faced in accessing quality education, she founded Educare Fund with the mission to sponsor the education of young women in Southern Africa. Her passion and dedication have been the driving force in expanding the charity to support 30 girls with their school and exam fees.
