My name is *Lerato T Dlamini* born and bred in a small rural area called Sheepmoor. I would like to believe that I am a change maker! In the year 2019 I was 16 years doing grade 11 at Bee Maseko Secondary School, I taught myself how to access all South African Universities ITS web sites and I also taught myself how to do an online application. A year later I was in matric, I applied and I got to help my classmates too. But unfortunately due to lack of funding I couldn't go to varsity and my parents couldn't afford to pay for my studies either. So I decided to take a gap year, in that year I started a tutoring session with my younger siblings, I helped them write their assignments, project's and homeworks too. With all that I saw them improving academically, so I saw this as an opportunity to tutor/teach students from my previous high school. So when they weren't for their school holidays I would gather them all from different grades.
I then started which later became a Non-profit organization where I would help matric students with their applications. I mostly focused on those who didn't have money to pay for the university application fees to those who who didn't have access to the Internet or phones at all. In all that I couldn't help students further because I no longer had the funds to pay for the application fees. I went around asking for help and funding until I was introduced to a guy who was in a certain varsity and he volunteered to help me for me. My NPO grew and I gave it a name, since I've always been passionate about education I decided to name it *IMFUNDO Phambili* (CAMPAIGN) the IPC which means *'Education First'* . I have been trying enough to look for funding from companies and individuals and I would really appreciate it if I got any kind of help. *I BELIEVE THAT I AM A CHANGE MAKER AND I BELIEVE THAT I'VE BROUGHT CHANGE UPON MANY*
