The idea behind the organization, Lepa Galeb-Roskopp says, came from a very personal experience:
“After going to South Africa with Misahara brand ambassadors and international athletes — JT Holmes, Chris Davenport, Greg Minnaar, Cedric Garcia and several others— we witnessed many children in need, particularly in the area of education. We decided to do a series of sports competitions to raise money for the Thembini School. We surfed, biked, organized volleyball games — the enthusiasm we faced by simply being true to what we love the most seemed an easy task that was bringing so much to the children. These children have no parents and ask for nothing besides a mother, father, pencils, books, school uniform — it’s the simple things that matter to them. They have faced the worst possible adversity but always smile when they see you, it’s an indescribable feeling.”
True Cause Foundation aims to support non-profit organizations that embrace and fight for children in need and for a better education in the US and Montenegro.
Misahara’s True Cause Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in California.
