1.  Break inter-generational cycles of poverty by empowering the youth with future-relevant skills, which are mainly absent in current schools/curricula, and which were NOT prevalent in the previous/parent generation. We do this through ACTION-based & innovative training programmes at the various critical youth-development stages:

  • Pre-school: Neuro-based training programs, including StartSmart.
  • Primary School: Training for future-fit Critical Think-skills development, practical Socio-emotional tools and STEM-skills (including Coding-skills), including MiniChess training levels.
  • High-School & Tertiary level: Leadership trainings with MindCo Unlimited short courses, for Teens (future leaders), young Entrepreneurs, young Professionals and Corporate Teams: empowering the Leaders of Tomorrow, TODAY – including the option to complete the micro-MBA for basic financial literacy.
  • Youth internships & entrepreneurship as our local Program-implementers, while generating an income AND the possibility to become micro-Franchisees in their own communities.
  • Prevent school drop-out, as a scourge in our country (leading directly into unemployable, grant dependent youth with grant-dependent families forward). Our clever neuro-based trainings have proven results, so that learners can thrive academically and not become overwhelmed or lose hope when struggling in-school:
    • Correcting early developmental backlogs, which leads to delayed school-readiness (the ability to learn effectively in a classroom context) – with various University studies & proven results.
    • Correcting learning deficits which developed through the pandemic.
    • Stimulate neural development in the Vestibular system, spatial ability and more – towards huge improvements in Mathematics, reading and overall academic results forward.
    • Clever game-based teaching methodologies is enjoyable and establish healthy learner-attitudes and improved knowledge retention.

2.  Establish Youth Leaders, Youth business-owners and Youth program-implementers inside their local communities, with the necessary skills to succeed in the future workplace, society, their communities, their families and our country at large.

3.  Dream-Makers This initiative introduces our partnering schools, learners and youth to Business- and Community Leaders, as values-based and inspirational mentors.

SPONSOR A CHILD

To continue the amazing work that The Entrust Foundation do – We need all the help we can.  By Sponsoring a child for a year, it costs you as little as R1000 (for the year) or R100 per month.

To the average person, this might not seem like a lot, but to the child who gets the benefits of early childhood development, through the award-winning MiniChess programme, this means they learn the STEM skills required to think on their feet, manage risk and learn to not only lead but also work in a team environment.  These are skills they would need to become incredible leaders and entrepreneurs – something our worldwide economy desperately needs.
