Boikanyo Inspiration
About Us

Boikanyo
means Faith

The NGO was named after 2 inspirational souls. Boikanyo a dynamic special 8 year old child, and Dion Herson a philanthropist who loved giving to others.

Boikanyo the Dion Herson Foundation is a non-profit organisation working with children and their caregivers in impoverished communities, as well as children living in deep rural communities scattered all over different provinces in South Africa.

Our Mission

Icon Mission
Boikanyo networks extensively with local NGOs/NPO’s to better understand specific problems plagueing disempowered communities. We source projects and fund resources as part of the solution.

Our Vision

Boikanyo aims to address the suffering of communities who live below the breadline, the animals who share their living spaces, and environmental issues which result from inadequate distribution of resources and assistance.

Our Impact
