Empowering Lives Through Education and Wellness

We come from a family of dreamers, people who refuse to be stopped by the words, ‘not possible’, ‘shouldn’t be able to,’ ‘can’t work.’ Because everything seems insurmountable until it’s surmounted.

About us

The Banging Pots Foundation is about that mindset, the belief in new horizons, shifting the paradigm, and following through the journey of our desires, until a thought becomes the thing we wished to create.

We know, though, that on this path, it’s difficult to go it alone. There is a scene from one of our favourite film moments, a father sets off to find a horse in a blizzard. He knows the weather is only getting worse and he might not be able to find his way home. He tells his daughter if he isn’t back in two hours, to stand at the doorstep and hold out a light so that he might see it and follow it home.

​

Two hours later, she does, but the blizzard is too much, and he can’t see the light. When his daughter realizes this, she runs into the kitchen and returns with a pot and a spoon. She starts banging the spoon against the pot.

​

And whereas, her father could not see the lights, he can hear the sounds of the pots banging. And he knows, that is his daughter, leading him home.

The Banging Pots Foundation is about the belief, that no matter the blizzard, there will always be somebody, ‘banging pots’ to lead you home.

Isaiah 30:21 “Whether you turn to the left or the right, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, ‘this is the way, walk in it.’”

​

Be the voice that leads others home.

Our Mandate

The Banging Pots Foundation has three stages of focus; education, purpose and sustainable evolution.

Stage One: Education

Helping passionate Learners achieve their high school goals by granting full or partial scholarships depending on the individual needs.

Stage Two: Purpose

Helping passionate Learners discover and find a footing into their area of purpose, particularly the Arts and other less travelled career paths.

Working with the communities which our scholarship holders hail from, to bring transformation to their immediate locals. If we aid a Learner, we find ways to impact their communities as well.

Stage Three: Sustainable Evolution

Our Students

Our Students are the heart and soul of Banging Pots. They are the reason we are. It is an honor and joy to watch our future generation come into their own power, shine their crowns, and own their voices...

Our Graduating Learners

Our 2022 High School Graduate
Miriam M.
Lukenya Community Schools

Ngina’s mother is a house manager. Ngina wants to be a doctor, but the local community school she was in could only prepare her so much. Such schools try but they are often underfunded and therefore have extremely limited resources.

​

We moved Ngina to a school with a strong academic standing and a dedicated focus on the specific needs of the Learner. Ngina is so excited, her mother jokes that she’s happier staying in school than coming home for the holidays. She told her mother, ‘Mum, just watch. I will get that ‘A’. I will become a doctor.’

Ngina is now enrolled in Lukenya University proudly pursuing her dream to become a Doctor.

The Lukenya Schools

Lukenya Schools is our chosen School for our Students because their values align with our Values.

Because of this, it was important to find an establishment that believed in the personal growth and development of the children, teenagers and young adults entrusted to their care.
