Our
impact
Transparency and accountability is essential.
For one thing, the community has a right to know and understand how their Trust’s funds are spent. For another, by monitoring and evaluating what we do and the results thereof, we are able to make informed choices about what is working and what isn’t so that we can ensure funds are spent for maximum impact.

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.
