Every child reading.
Every youth working.
We hire and train unemployed local youth to run data-driven literacy and numeracy programmes in South Africa's public schools.
We create opportunities for South Africa's children and youth to get the best education possible, by investing in the communities that raise them.
Every programme creates jobs for local women and youth, so a generation of leaders is built now while we invest in the long-term future of South Africa's children.
And because we measure everything, you never have to take our word for it. See the data →

What happens when you flood a township with graduates?
Our Scholarship Fund is creating a generation of leaders: young people who lift their families out of poverty, uplift their own communities, and show the next child exactly what's possible. We're going to find out what that does.
“Graduation means everything to me, thanks to Masinyusane. They supported me through financial struggles, and even covered my graduation attire. Now they have helped secure a bursary for my Post-grad Diploma in Cybersecurity.”
