Siya Kolisi – South Africa’s national rugby captain and co-founder of the Kolisi Foundation
Siya and Rachel Kolisi established the Kolisi Foundation to alleviate extreme poverty, mentor underprivileged youth and promote equality. Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, the Foundation has fed more than 25,000 families in South Africa and supported thousands of healthcare workers with vital supplies.
“Starting the Foundation has kept me strong during the pandemic; it’s kept my mind going. I’ve been thinking a lot about others during this time. It gives me so much drive and motivation to play well, to play for the change I want to create.”Siya Kolisi, South Africa's national rugby captain & co-founder of the Kolisi Foundation
