About Khanyisani Trust

The Khanyisani Model

In a nation grappling with poverty, Khanyisani offers a proven, holistic, and sustainable model.

Rooted in leadership, entrepreneurship, trust, respect, and faith in Jesus Christ, our approach doesn’t rely on handouts or traditional job creation. Witnessing life-changing results, we uplift thousands through our mission.

Khanyisani's mission is to combat poverty sustainably through word and deed discipleship.

Our Mission

Employing self-help savings group methodology, asset-based community development, catechism-based bible studies, climate-smart food production, and income generation—all anchored in a Christian worldview. We invest in the living, breaking the poverty cycle and embracing the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Our Focus

As Christians, we feel called to care for those in need. While we can't care for everyone, we equip others to join us. By working together, we build a brighter future for the most vulnerable members of our country.
