KHULA Education has been selected as a strategic partner of the King Charles III Charitable Fund (KCCF), marking an important milestone for the organisation. KHULA is the first education charity operating in South Africa to be chosen for this partnership.
Each year, the King Charles III Charitable Fund supports more than 150 organisations globally, with only a small number selected as strategic partners. KHULA’s inclusion reflects strong recognition from one of the United Kingdom’s most established philanthropic institutions.
This partnership affirms KHULA’s long-term, community-based approach to education and creates an opportunity to deepen its impact across rural KwaZulu-Natal. With this support, KHULA will continue to strengthen foundational learning, support educators, and expand pathways into skills development and employment for young people.
“This recognition from the King Charles III Charitable Fund is incredibly meaningful for our team and the communities we serve,” said Debbie Heustice, CEO of KHULA Education. “It reflects the strength of the work happening on the ground and reinforces the importance of sustained investment in education.”
Nikki Jeffery, Executive Director of the King Charles III Charitable Fund, said:
“We’re delighted to support KHULA Education and its highly effective, community-led programmes which benefit one of South Africa’s most under-resourced regions. Their efforts are transforming opportunities for young people, strengthening local education systems and helping communities to thrive. We look forward to partnering with KHULA as they continue to deepen and expand this vital work.”
