Why she started the isipho campaign

“My father was a giver, and he taught me the true meaning of generosity. He made sure that people in our church were fed, that our family was cared for, and even looked after my friends who were in difficult situations. It made perfect sense, his name was Sipho, meaning gift. My own name, Reneiloe, means a gift bestowed upon us, and I strive to live up to it in the same way my father lived up to his.
His legacy of giving lives on through me.”

Through the iSipho Campaign, Emelinah is honouring her father’s legacy by turning her birthday into a gift for families facing hunger.
