Empowering Youth,
Building Communities
Investing in Dreams, Transforming Lives
OUR VISION
Our vision at CHF is to invest and create opportunities in the lives of young people, developing their talents and turning dreams into reality. Guided by this vision, our mission is clear: to build and strengthen future communities by encouraging, empowering, and enabling young people to become the best they can be through education, training, and coaching.
We believe that every young person deserves the chance to pursue their passions, overcome obstacles, and achieve their goals. Through our programmes and initiatives, we strive to provide the support and resources necessary to make this vision a reality.
ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
The Cornal Hendricks Foundation (CHF) is a B-BBEE Level 1 non-profit company that is a registered public benefit organisation (PBO) duly registered with the Department of Social Development and with SARS and is authorised to issue 18A tax donation certificates which degrees the taxable income level of any business, person or employee taxable income.
In 1995 our country united through sport, therefore Cornal Hendricks (the Founder and CEO) and CHF have decided that they are going to make a difference through sport in our rural communities. Youth in the rural areas love sport and are also very good at it. There are many young people with great talent and through sport we want to impact their lives. Rugby clinics are developed and connected with life skills and are value-based. During these lessons we focus on living with discipline, respect and most important to reach their potential and become leaders. “With discipline, you achieve much in life. You must have respect for yourself, your teammates and other people. You must always see yourself as a winner and always love what you do. To put shoes on youth’s feet, to wash their feet and help them believe that dreams can come true; was the most humbling experience for me that I have ever experienced in my life. There are millions of people worldwide who dies yearly from not having shoes on their feet.” We want to help alleviate this problem and make it part of our mission to serve.
The core values of The Cornal Hendricks Foundation can be seen as their North star. They guide them in every decision they make, making sure they stay true to themselves and what they believe in.
Dream
If a person do not dream, they are dying from the inside out. We dream big for the children of South Africa and our dreams scares us. It is a good thing, right?
Hope
"Endurance produces character and character produces hope..." Wherever we go we instil hope. When one has hope, dreams can become true.
Inspire
We strive to be an example of love, hope and dreams to those without it, setting the example, so that they can be the change wherever they go.
