Who We Are

Shaping brighter futures in Disadvantaged Communities

The Entrust Foundation is a purpose-driven organisation focused on equipping children and young people from disadvantaged schools and communities with the skills they need to grow, adapt and succeed in a changing world. Through practical, future-focused learning, the foundation helps learners build confidence, strengthen critical thinking and develop the tools needed for education, work and life.

The Entrust Foundation exists to invest in people, strengthen poorer communities and create opportunities through meaningful educational development to those that need it most.

How We Do It

Our Implementation Strategy

Break inter-generational cycles of poverty by empowering the youth with future-relevant skills

We are a purpose-driven organisation dedicated to empowering children and young people through practical, future-focused education. By developing skills such as critical thinking, confidence and adaptability, the foundation helps learners prepare for success in school, in the workplace and in everyday life.

Through meaningful educational programmes, The Entrust Foundation invests in people, strengthens communities and creates opportunities for long-term growth and development. Our work is centred on equipping the next generation with the tools they need to thrive in a changing world.

Establish Youth Leaders, Youth business owners and Youth Program implementers

Establishing youth leaders, entrepreneurs and programme implementers within their communities, equipped with the skills needed to succeed in the future workplace, society and family life.

Creating Dream Makers

Dream Makers connects partnering schools, learners and young people with business and community leaders who serve as inspirational, values-driven mentors.
Development

Practical Learning That Makes A Difference

The Entrust Foundation develops and delivers learning programmes that support learners at different stages of their journey. These programmes are designed to go beyond traditional learning by combining academic support, personal growth and practical skill development.

Through in-school, online, hybrid and community-based models, The Entrust Foundation creates accessible learning opportunities that help learners engage, grow and prepare for the future.

Critical Thinking

Learners are encouraged to think independently, ask questions, solve problems and make informed decisions with confidence. This helps them engage more actively in the learning process and develop a stronger ability to analyse situations, evaluate ideas and respond thoughtfully in both academic and everyday settings.

Creating Impact That Reaches Further

Our Value Proposition

The Entrust Foundation creates meaningful value on two levels, for CSI donors looking to make a measurable difference, and for the communities who benefit from impactful educational development. Through strategic support, donors are able to contribute to youth empowerment, school improvement and future-fit learning, while also receiving recognised compliance and reporting benefits. At the same time, communities gain access to programmes that strengthen learning, improve school readiness, build confidence and prepare young people for a changing world of work.

All The Entrust Foundation’s sponsored programs are run according to prescribed South African CSI (Corporate Social Investment) requirements, so donors can qualify for SARS/TAX-benefits and BEE scorecard points in SED (Socio-Economic Development) and ED (Enterprise Development) categories.

Be Part Of The Journey

Sponsor a Child

Be part of the journey by helping The Entrust Foundation continue its meaningful work in the lives of young learners. By sponsoring a child for just R1000 per year or R100 per month, you can help provide access to early childhood development through the award-winning MiniChess programme. What may seem like a small contribution can make a lasting difference in a child’s future.

Through this support, children are introduced to essential STEM-based skills that help them think critically, solve problems, manage risk, work with others and grow in confidence. These are not only skills for the classroom, they are skills for life, helping to shape future leaders, entrepreneurs and active contributors to society.
