In South Africa, we fund education to achieve and sustain equity, because we believe education leads to profound, sustainable change. Through our signature Top 10 Wish List approach, we actively seek out children’s, educators’, and parents’ specific and tangible dreams for their schools. Our agenda, therefore, comes straight from those who know best and honors the universal promise in all.
