Our Story

“We are different for a reason and it’s our differences that make us special.”–Ayakha Rammbuda

Raise Your Banner is a non-profit organization dedicated to equipping youth from diverse backgrounds with the necessary tools and resources to succeed in life.

Started in 2021 by students Ayakha Rammbuda and Thabiso Maphanga, Raise Your Banner was born out of a shared passion for empowering disadvantaged youth.

Our main goal as an organisation is to help young people reach their full potential in order to create a better future for themselves and their communities, regardless of their backgrounds. This will be achieved by facilitating access to mental health services, quality education and skills development.

Everyone deserves to be loved and to be cared for, because knowing that there are people who believe in you gives you strength to face yet another day. We all have different pasts and our journeys are also different, therefore we have unique gifts to give to the world. We as an organisation are here to help you uncover your gift, remind you that it is enough, and guide you in using it to benefit both yourself and those around you. We are here to remind you that it is never too late to start again, to care again, and to love again. There is true strength in unity!
