Our Classy Genesis

A Ministry-recognised youth-led volunteer organisation transforming lives since 2011.

Our Classy Genesis

CLASS VOLUNTEERS FOUNDATION is a Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health recognised youth-led volunteer organisation founded by Rev. Phetso Kegaisamang Kgosiemang in May 2011, as a relief programme during the civil servants’ strike.

The Foundation reaches over 20,000 learners annually across at least 11 senior secondary schools, offering peer education in personal development, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, gender and more.

“Motho ke motho ka batho.” A person is a person through other people.— Setswana Proverb

The failure to address social challenges in school does not only burden the school now, but the country in the short and long run. CVF stands in that gap — faithfully and boldly.
