The recent #feesmustfall protests have done much to highlight the fact that there are many capable, talented and eager students wanting to ensure a future for themselves through tertiary education.

Funding Update: Kids Haven
Thank you to all of you who’ve contributed towards the R24 573 raised for Kids Haven so far! We love that the bridging programme run by Kids Haven gives children who would ordinarily not have a second chance at finishing school, the opportunity to give school another try.

Featured Photo: Flying for Life
We recently went on a trip to Venda to tell the story of Flying for Life’s cataract operation programme and to meet the people who have benefitted, or will still benefit from, these operations. Joburg-based photographer, Jono Wood, accompanied the team to capture portrait shots of every person we met. We’re looking forward to sharing these photos with you in the weeks to come.
