Director

Born and raised in Jolivet, on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast, Nomfundo studied marketing at Mangosuthu University of Technology. She began her career as a teacher before moving into community development work as a Programmes Coordinator supporting vulnerable communities. Her connection to the deaf community began through her partner, who taught at a school for the deaf; since then she has taken part in the Silent Walk and volunteers with a parents' association supporting deaf children and their families. As a mother herself, she understands firsthand the weight parents carry — and the difference it makes when a family isn't facing that weight alone. She is currently building her data analysis skills through a short course with IBM, strengthening her ability to evidence the impact of the programmes she leads. At Umbrella of Care, she is the umbrella that will shelter.
