James Gerber Scholarship

“My whole life I’ve grown up being surrounded by the TAG foundation and the work my parents have done. The boys have stayed at my house and lots of them became really good friends of mine at school. I’ve always grown up knowing I wanted to give back and when I started triathlon and learnt how lucky I was to do a sport my parents could afford I knew I needed to be more than just an athlete. Many people reached out to me and I realised that instead of getting given money for myself I wanted to change the life of kids and let them live there dream. KES is extremely important to me and my family and it’s a privilege to do what I get to do. “Every child deserves to dream. All it takes is an opportunity and for someone to believe in them.”

Currently I have two boys at school, Risima in grade 9 and Os in grade 8. Both boys termly are boarders and boarding and school fees both covered for the next 5 years.” – James Gerber
