The Heart of Giving: The St David's Marist Inanda Foundation

At St David’s, we are committed to building the human fabric of our society, and we believe in the transformative power of Marist education. For many, a quality education is a privilege and a life-changing opportunity. That's why we are immensely proud of the work done by the St David's Marist Inanda Foundation, our school’s Trust, dedicated to ensuring our long-term sustainability through the spirit of generosity and community collaboration.

The Gathering of Stars: A Celebration of Long-term Partnerships

Last week, the St David's Marist Inanda Foundation hosted "The Gathering of Stars." This special occasion celebrated the enduring partnerships between our St David’s Bursary Scholars and their dedicated funders who donate through the Foundation’s Bursary Fund. Under the inspiring leadership of Lara Klement, Head of Advancement, and Fiona Budd, Foundation Director, the Foundation enables boys from previously disadvantaged backgrounds to become part of the Inanda family, amongst other initiatives. These partnerships extend beyond financial support; they foster meaningful relationships between the boys, their benefactors, and the school. The bonds formed are a testament to the power of education and the power of philanthropy and the difference these make in the lives of our students.

Witnessing Impactful Connections

During this heartwarming event, we had the privilege of witnessing these bonds in action. It was a night filled with joy, gratitude, and an overwhelming sense of community. The long-term partnerships forged through the St David's Marist Inanda Foundation are not just about providing educational opportunities; they're about nurturing a supportive network that lasts a lifetime.
