OUR STORY
How We got here ...
There is a need to be valued or seen, and we see a lack of it a lot in our societies, and girls are particularly affected. My mother passed away when I was 11 years, I was left under the care of my amazing grandmother with an income of 30U$D then, it was tough for sure. But I had an exceptional teacher; she noticed, paid attention, and started providing me with both physical and emotional needs.
I felt worthy because someone was seeing potential in me, and gave me the much-needed encouragement that it will get better. With her great support and a loving grandmother, I managed to pass high school with an 80% average and won a scholarship to study in Malaysia.
BOSEJA started because of what my teacher did for me, and my desire was and still is to simply pay it forward to other girls. She changed my story; she gave me a choice, voice, and control. Because of that, I want to do it for another girl next door, down the street, and in my community. If she didn’t pay attention where will I be? Probably I would be one of the statistics of teenage pregnancy, given to sugar daddies, HIV, etc.
Where there is poverty, often the girl child is the most vulnerable, therefore, they need to be informed, educated and empowered’, Tumelo Tsele, Co-Founder & Executive Director, BOSEJA Girls
