Empowering South African Children

23 March, 20204 October, 2022

“The power of education extends beyond the development of skills we need for economic success. It can contribute to nation-building and reconciliation.” – Nelson Mandela

Madiba had a vision of equality in South Africa, through both education and economic empowerment. At the Love Trust, though our school for vulnerable children, our Early Childhood Development (ECD) program and ECD Teacher Training Centres, we strive to empower South Africa’s youth by giving them the best possible start in life against all odds: a solid educational foundation.
South Africa’s Broad-Based BEE legislation is an incentive for all businesses, including small and medium enterprise to become part of the transformation process in our country. Your donations and contributions towards our programs enable the development of skills and enterprise within South Africa, and the results are reflected in favourably in your company’s BBBEE scorecard.
Companies can currently earn up to 43 points* by making a contribution to our worthy cause.
