about us
What an opportunity!
The Geleentheid Trust is a charitable organisation that awards scholarships to talented Grade 6 learners from the Stellenbosch,
Paarl and Kuilsriver areas who can’t afford to attend leading schools in Stellenbosch. We’re currently supporting 11 scholars.
A group of friends making a difference
The Geleentheid Trust was founded in 2008
by Michiel le Roux and Emile van Biljon. The idea originated from a late night
conversation over a few beers and became reality soon after. What started with
a bunch of friends giving something back has grown into a sizeable
organisation.
Geleentheid Trust aims to give kids from poor communities the same sort of
opportunities that its donors had when growing up.
