About Us

Welcome to Simply Blended Family Foundation

At Simply Blended, we believe true success starts with wholeness. We create safe spaces where emotional wellness meets financial wisdom, helping families heal, grow, and thrive.

From navigating childhood trauma to working 17 years in government, she witnessed how emotional pain and financial stress often go hand-in-hand.

Testimonials 

Simply Blended Foundation Member

Somi Tati

Starting as an intern to fulfill my graduation requirements, I quickly found myself growing under the inspiring leadership of Sis Ndumie. She recognized my potential and guided me into social media content management—a skill I now use confidently. Working alongside Sis Ndumie, Makhulu, and Sesethu created a supportive, empowering environment where I felt valued and motivated. Being part of Simply Blended and its Foundation from the early stages has been a rewarding experience. Sis Ndumie’s nurturing leadership fosters creativity, growth, and learning. I’m proud to have contributed to this journey and excited to see Simply Blended Foundation continue to thrive."

Hlomla Rawu

Good day, my name is Hlomla Rawu from New Cross, and I’m part of the Simply Blended Foundation, which focuses on supporting the boy child and broken families. Since joining, my life has improved significantly, especially after finishing matric and being unemployed. I’m deeply grateful to our mother, @Ndumi, for her guidance, energy, and confidence that inspire us. I also want to thank her for the opportunity to attend the No Excuse Camp — it was an incredible experience where I learned so much, shared my story, and healed parts of myself. The camp was well-organized, from food and accommodation to transport, and the sessions with pastors and group discussions were particularly impactful. It’s an experience I will never forget.
