Mary Memela Foundation is a registered nonprofit organisation founded on the 18th of June 2020 by His Royal Highness Prince Welcome Mkhize-Zulu in honor of his late great-grandmother, Her Royal Highness Princess Mary Memela, born 4th of March 1924. Mary Memela Foundation as a feminist civil society was established also to advocate for the rights of women and children. We do this by offering women a seat at the table when it comes to the decision-making process in issues that affect them and within our organization.
