About Us
We are GEME , (Gez, Edith, Marlene & Eleanor) and together we believe that everyone can make a difference!
GEME foundation is our way of making a positive impact in the lives of many. We all received a helping hand at one time or another and we thank all those that were there for us in our time of need.
In January 2022, we lost our Edith to a long battle with cancer. GEME foundation continues her legacy to make a difference to the people she touched and the world around us.
How we make a difference
Edith believed in the power of education in the broadest sense and how the smallest contributions can make a big impact. GEME foundation aims to make a difference through:
EDUCATION
Learning never stops and broadens our horizons for a brighter tomorrow.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Creating opportunities that contribute towards growth.
SMILEY FACES
