Eagle Group Foundation: Empowering Dreams, Building Realities

Supporting entrepreneurs, students and communities to reach their full potential.

Our Founders:


The Eagle Group Foundation was founded by Avril and Carmen van der Rheede, a couple whose journey is a powerful testament to faith, perseverance, and the impact of community. From humble beginnings to building a successful telecommunications company, their story reflects the values of hard work, integrity, and unwavering trust in God's plan.

Guided by their Christian faith, Avril and Carmen believe that success is not measured by personal gain but by the ability to uplift and empower others. They draw inspiration from Isaiah 40:31—"But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint."—which perfectly embodies their vision. They trust in God’s strength to lead them in their mission to serve others.

This faith-driven vision led to the creation of the Eagle Group Foundation, whose mission is to empower dreams and build realities. The Foundation fosters a thriving ecosystem of entrepreneurs, students, and community members by providing comprehensive educational programs, practical internships, and impactful community initiatives. Avril and Carmen believe that by unlocking potential and creating pathways to sustainable success, they can help individuals transform their futures.

For them, the Foundation is more than just an initiative—it is a calling to serve, inspire, and reflect God’s love in everything they do. Their passion for education, mentorship, and community development is the driving force behind Eagle Group Foundation, ensuring that those in need have access to opportunities that can change their lives.
