Our story
Education opens the way to a brighter future.
Masakhe is committed to uplifting Nyanga East and Lower Crossroads through early education, women's economic empowerment and community support.
Founded in February 2011
From community need to community strength
Masakhe emerged from the need for educational support and economic opportunities for women and children. Under founder Ntombenqaba Petros, the organisation has grown into a trusted space for learning, practical skills and mutual support.
