Pauline started financially helping one child in Bronkhorstspruit Primary School and one in Cultura High School. Both schools are located in a small town where Pauline and her siblings grew up in, called Bronkhorstspruit in the Province of Gauteng in South Africa. From her own pocket, she sponsored the children by paying their school fees for the year, giving them a school uniform voucher and a trophy. Providing the remaining parent or guardian brief financial relief and giving the children a reason to keep working hard while reassuring them that their dreams are valid. Pauline shared her story with her then mentor who not only helped her in financially supporting a child but he was also the catalyst in her sharing her story with a wider audience. As a result, “The Journey Continues” Foundation was established in the year 2024. 

The foundation aims to help children in South Africa who lost a parent or both by assisting with education related costs including school fees, school uniform, stationery etc. and assist the children where mental health is concerned. For the surviving parent or guardian, the financial assistance gives them an opportunity to focus on other responsibilities. For the children, the assistance not only aims to motivates them to keep on working hard and pursuing their dreams but it also offers mental health support to process grief and helps children learn valuable mindfulness techniques.
