Avhahumi Foundation which was named after the late aunt of Funanani Lischen Mulaudzi (founder). Funanani’s story started after the passing of her aunt (Avhahumi Sara Sidogi) who couldn’t read and write,
Funanani identified a gap in the village and created a book (literacy) campaign drive where she started collecting books to empower the community at Ha-Madamalala village by passing wisdom and knowledge. Freedom day 27.04.2021 at HaMadamalala village was celebrated differently this year.
To many history was made.One of many successful stories from this campaign is that Ha-Madamalala has a
Library (Avhahumi’s home) for the community and WiFi accessibility that enables students to study, learn and research.
Funanani was inspired to do more with the guidance of her cousin the Chief Sidogi identified families who needed support with food, school shoes and toiletries, these items were handed to those families on the day 27th April 2021.Funanani’s goal for 2022 is for her project to have raised enough funds to build Avhahumi learning centre that will create jobs and be able to accommodate the community to have access to unlimited growth resources.
