Empowering South Africa's Future Leaders Through STEM, Health-Hygiene, Nutrition & Dignity
Through Casio-powered teacher training, STEM tools, health-hygiene and nutrition, we’re rewriting the future of underserved learners. In South Africa, a child’s potential should never be limited by poverty, period. Yet today:
- 1 in 3 learners drops out due to hunger (Stats SA, 2024)
- 47% of girls miss school monthly without dignity packs (UNICEF).
- Rural teachers lack tools to teach STEM subjects effectively (DBE Report)

Why Get Involved With Us?
Your CSI budget can drive real impact by addressing South Africa’s STEM skills gap. By supporting learners through simple donations like calculators, you empower future talent while earning tax benefits and BBBEE points.
We partner with schools at no cost, offering teacher training and learner support that boost classroom results. Schools in our program have seen math pass rates improve by 25%—all driven by a shared belief in better education.
For communities, this is a local movement creating local impact. Just R265 provides a dignity pack for a girl at your child’s school—helping her stay in class and succeed. Every rand stays here, building a stronger future together.
We're closing the education gap by equipping learners and educators in underserved communities with STEM tools and support. In partnership with Casio, we've donated 500+ calculators, trained 300 teachers, and reached over 10,000 learners while also addressing health, hygiene, and nutrition barriers. Every calculator is more than a tool, it’s a step toward a brighter future.
