Constantia Education Foundation (CEF) is a registered South African Non-Profit Company (NPC) and Public Benefit Organisation (PBO). We were founded in 2010 with a single mission: to break the cycle of poverty through access to quality education.
We work closely with Reddam House Constantia — an IEB school in the Western Cape — to provide multi-year scholarships, structured mentorship, and STEM programmes to financially disadvantaged students from Cape Town communities including Khayelitsha, Mitchells Plain, and surrounding areas.
Each scholarship covers the full cost of attending Reddam House Constantia for five years: tuition, uniform, stationery, and all associated costs. The total value of a scholarship is approximately R1 million over five years. Scholars are selected based on academic merit, potential, leadership qualities, and financial need.
Every scholarship student is enrolled in the Dale Williams Mentorship Programme, which pairs them with a trained alumni mentor. The programme has grown to over 200 active mentors. Mentors provide career guidance, study support, and personal development coaching throughout the scholar's time at school and beyond.
CEF funds and operates STEM programmes and facilities in underserved communities. Recent projects include a STEM laboratory opened at a Khayelitsha community centre and a community library in Mitchells Plain.
The 150 Club is a structured monthly giving programme. Members commit to R150 per month (R1,800 per year). Contributions go directly to the scholarship fund. Donations are tax-deductible under Section 18A of the Income Tax Act.
