Our mission

Is to eradicate poverty and reduce income inequality by making life changing connections more accessible for the youth.  We focus especially on reaching marginalised communities through our non-fee paying government school initiatives in proud partnership with Liberty Community Trust.

Our work and activities serve and empower children, their families, women, and communities.
We envision giving every child the opportunity to gain the education and economic capital necessary to thrive, reach their full potential, and give back to society.

The World of Work

Preparing students for a 4IR-driven world

Psychometric Assessments & Tools

Empowering students to know and understand themselves

Knowledge Bank

Decoding the subject choice, education, further study, and future career environments

Funding Database

We believe

Self-awareness and individual transformation consciousness precede socio-economic transformation and have the powerful effect of breaking down the barriers of systemic inequality that are keeping our youth trapped in cycles of poverty. We future-proof the youth by providing them with personalised career guidance and coaching which makes them happier and healthier, accelerating their journey to economic transformation.
