Cycle

of achievement

Each year, more and more students graduate from tertiary institutions, and return home as community-engaged citizens and role models for the new children and families that begin with antenatal intervention and move through our pathway of programs. And that’s the point. We innovate to impact at scale — creating a cycle of achievement that lifts up children and families in the Northern Cape.
