Our goal is not just to educate children in need and improve their quality of life. Our goal is to create a community of Scholars who empower hundreds, then thousands of people in rural South Africa.
The 5 Effect begins when a Scholar positively impacts 5 other people's lives, who then in turn impact 5 other people's lives. Over time, families, communities and economies are transformed.
We believe that exposure to other cultures and perspectives broadens the mind and enriches personal experiences.
For many scholars, coming to school in Gauteng is a taste of the world. We want to extend that taste beyond Gauteng, to include the whole world, whether that means a variety of professions or exposure to individuals and families from all over the world
