Founded in 1869, Inanda Seminary is a full boarding school for black girls, nestled in the hills of KwaZulu-Natal. For over 150 years, it has stood as a beacon of academic excellence, spiritual grounding, and leadership development. Its alumnae include trailblazers in medicine, law, boardrooms, education, and public service—women who have shaped South Africa’s narrative with grace and resilience.
Yet, sustaining such a legacy requires more than passion—it demands financial stability. That’s where the Endowment Fund comes in.
An endowment fund is not just a financial instrument—it is a promise. It ensures that Inanda Seminary can continue to offer quality education regardless of economic fluctuations or funding uncertainties. With a strong endowment, the school can:
• Provide scholarships to deserving students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
• Maintain and upgrade its historic campus and facilities.
• Attract and retain exceptional educators.
• Innovate its curriculum to meet the demands of a changing world.
Building this financial foundation is a journey which needs you.
Whether you’re an alumna, a parent, a corporate sponsor, or simply someone who believes in the transformative power of education, your contribution matters. Every rand donated brings us closer to a future where Inanda Seminary thrives for generations to come.
