Obed Rakgalakana ,
2nd year student at UNISA
"It seems impossible until is done, at first, I did not know how am I going to get funding to study until Thrive helped me in my first semester. They did not only provide funding but also a mentor who went all to help and support me not only academically but emotionally as well. Thank you a lot Thrive for believing in me and all the opportunity".
