Unlocking potential through learning

why we do what we do

55% of people in South Africa live below the poverty line. Unemployment is rife and half of all South African pupils who have attended school for five years can’t do basic calculations or read for meaning. The reality in South Africa is that very few people from disadvantaged communities overcome the barriers of poverty and oppression to reach their full potential. We believe that South Africa is bursting with potential and we feel called to help unlock this potential in our community by offering support and learning opportunities.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to inspire individuals and the community around them to engage in educational activities that unlock their potential.

WE ARE DEEPLY EMBEDDED IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND HAVE INCORPORATED YEARS OF LEARNINGS INTO OUR STRATEGY. SOME OF THESE ARE:

WE SEE OURSELVES AS A PARTNER NOT A SUPPLIER.
As an organisation we could never offer perfect solutions. We strongly believe that in order to create a long-term impact that sees people reach their full potential we need to partner and not supply. This means we work alongside community members and whilst we give access to resources, our initiatives are designed to encourage the locals to take control of their own lives by inspiring learning that empowers them to overcome their own personal challenges.
WE TRY OUR BEST TO SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS IN CONTEXT.
We understand that no individual exists in isolation so we do our best to work with individuals as well as with the systems around the individual. This means that many of our projects are interconnected and where possible linked to the family unit.
WE BUILD BRIDGES.
The challenges faced by people living in poverty are incredibly complex and we would never be able to address these complexities alone. Therefore, we try our best to build bridges and partner with other organisations, government, churches, companies and experts to bring innovative solutions that will result in sustainable impact.
