The AJ Foundation, situated in the Cape Metropolitan area, is a non-profit organisation. The company was formed in 2016 by Cole Alexander; a Professional soccer player and Jessie Julius; a business mentor and youth leader.
The organisation now has 14 members and aims to uplift the youth in the community, by providing them with access to resources that they would otherwise not be able to afford.
The Foundation’s first bursary was awarded in 2024 to the value of R40 000, and with the help of donations, they hope to continue with the awarding of bursaries to deserving students each year.
