A Second Chance to Succeed

The Problem

Barriers to Education

Completing school is a challenge for students from poor households, approximately 60% of learners will drop out before reaching matric. Many of those that do complete matric fail their exams and are unable to find jobs or further their education, reinforcing the poverty cycle and perpetuating inequality.

The Cycle of Poverty

Endemic failings in South Africa’s education system result in a high rate of matriculation failure for underprivileged youth. The consequences of the high failure rate include increased youth unemployment, poverty, violence, and gangsterism.

What We Do

Academic Support

We register students to rewrite their exams and guide them in their studies every step of the way. We provide one-on-one tutoring, group sessions, and access to online learning materials. We also provide students with stationery, textbooks, and data to facilitate their studies. 

Self-Development & Mentorship

In order to help our students gain the confidence and tools to succeed, we offer life coaching and mentorship programs. In partnership with Next-Step Coaching, we offer life-coaching sessions to help our students overcome the fear of failure, build self-esteem and develop the soft skills needed to succeed. Our mentorship program partners our students with young role models who can inspire, motivate, and guide them throughout the program.

Career Advancement

Ensuring success beyond the matric examination is of equal importance to us. To help our students pursue further education and employment opportunities we provide career coaching services, computer skills training, CV assistance, and networking opportunities. Students who successfully complete their exams and go on to further their education or enter the workforce are still eligible to receive our support and continued assistance to ensure success.
