The Lewis Group, in our quest to honour our late CEO’s legacy, embarked on a journey to find a suitable scholarship programme, which would be aligned with our socio-economic development strategy and also pay homage to Alan Smart, ex-CEO of the group for many years.

We chose the Kay Mason Foundation as we uphold their holistic approach to developing young children in the best possible way with the support a child needs to flourish in every way, every day.

We are delighted with the progress of our Lewis Group Alan Smart scholars and as we believe in following the development of the student in the long term, we plan to do this for many years to come, watching young adults progress into leaders and successful icons in our communities.

Thank you, Kay Mason Foundation, for allowing us to partner with you to meet common objectives, we are proud of our association with your Foundation.

Access to good quality basic education in South Africa is way out of reach mainly due to a broader basic education system that is seriously challenged. Investec through its Corporate Social Investment (CSI) division has partnered with the Kay Mason Foundation to offer some of their talented high school learners with great academic potential and financial need, bursaries to study at some of the country’s best high schools. 

Through our relationship and engagement over the years, we have found the Kay Mason team, to be professional at all times. We have observed and appreciated their dedication, genuine passion, and care for our learners. Their work continues to positively impact many in desperate need of such academic, moral and social support – giving them a fair chance at life. Given our positive experience in working with the Kay Mason Foundation, their nimble, entrepreneurial spirit and flexibility, we would not hesitate to recommend them as either a partner or a champion in bursary provision. 

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require further information in this regard.
 

We as DHL Global Forwarding would like to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude towards the Kay Mason Foundation in Cape Town. This remarkable organization has had an immense impact on the lives of countless young individuals.

The Kay Mason Foundation stands as a beacon of hope, dedicated to transforming the lives of disadvantaged students in Cape Town. Their unwavering commitment to providing quality education and opportunities is truly inspiring. Through their comprehensive scholarship program, they not only provide financial assistance but also offer mentorship, guidance, and holistic support to ensure the academic and personal growth of their beneficiaries.
