our story
A journey of impact and growth
Kivar’s story began with a simple, yet powerful belief: that meaningful learning can transform people, teams, and businesses. Founded by husband-and-wife team Devene and Leisha Naidoo, our roots lie in South Africa, where we spent nearly a decade running Injabulo Learning. There, we trained over 2000 learners, earned five awards, and witnessed firsthand the profound impact of tailored skills development.
Building on this success, we set our sights on a new chapter — bringing our expertise to the Middle East. We combine years of experience with a deep understanding of the evolving needs of businesses. Our approach is personal, strategic, and results-driven. We focus not just on surface-level learning, but on creating lasting behavioural shifts that empower individuals and strengthen organisations.
