Our Scholars

Asa is an intelligent and hard-working individual who takes pride in her school work and loves to learn. In her free time, she enjoys reading as well as playing and listening to music. She plays the violin and recorder and always makes time for the theory aspect of her music too. She always looks forward to learning new things and helping others which is why one day, she would like to become a doctor. Asa says that her role model is her mother.

Tererai is a natural creative with a passion for art and dancing. With her LitoroConnect Scholarship, she aims to improve her marks while fighting pollution in South Africa. Unlike any of our other scholars, Tererai does not have a role model. “I want to be my own person”, she exclaims.

Lucian is a hardworking and driven academic with a striking creative flair. He loves spending his free time on all sorts of arts, crafts and DIY projects. He has a strong interest in business and plans on studying accounting and business in the near future.

Janica is a keen reader and writer, who excels at both of these things. When she is not engaged in literature, she enjoys cooking too. Her end goal is to become a forensic scientist and therefore aims high academically in order to make this possible. Another dream of hers is to travel the world and publish a book- which she aims to do once she has started working. Ambitious and enthusiastic, Janica is going far!

Kelly is a brilliant musician and academic with a dream of becoming either a scientist or a fashion designer. She could therefore speak for hours about her fashion icon and role model, Marc Jacobs. What she speaks more about, however, is her desire to alleviate poverty in South Africa – something that she believes she will be able to do with the assistance of Litoro Foundation.

Although Rashaan’s dream is to become a chartered accountant, she is passionate about helping children in South Africa and so aims to include working with children in whatever she does. This passion of hers was discovered during her many years of work in her mother’s crèche. When Rashaan is not busy helping children, she is on the rugby field or practising the flute.

Carla is a very outgoing and friendly young woman with an inquisitive mind. She is a persevering and determined student and hopes to one day follow a career in either forensic science or criminal law. With the help of the Litoro Foundation, Carla will undoubtedly succeed in whichever career path she chooses to follow.

Mihla is a spunky and driven individual who enjoys all her school subjects. Her favourite subject is English, namely due to the fact that she reads absolutely everything and anything she can get her hands on. She adores Jane Austen’s books, due to the author’s “ability to transform the reader to the 1800s,” she explains. Mihla partakes in a wide variety of hobbies that include dancing, record playing and her current new interest – chess! She dreams of one day becoming a writer or neuroscientist and hopefully Litoro can help her achieve her goals!.
