Our education philosophy
At Good Work Foundation (GWF) we believe that good learning is about creating nurturing environments that are engaging and fun.
That’s why every day, on every GWF campus, we take joy in exposing South Africa’s children and young adults to wonder-filled learning aimed at narrowing the “digital divide”.
As passionate educators, we want rural South African communities to flourish in the 21st-century digital world.

When a gift becomes a legacy: honouring Londolozi’s centenary through a R10-million act of light
It’s not often that someone you’ve known for more than 30 years can still surprise you. But that’s exactly what happened to us at Good Work Foundation.
Londolozi, one of our founding partners, made a decision that marked a significant moment in our shared history. As this world-famous private game reserve approached its 100th year in 2026, a century shaped by conservation, community, family and story, its current stewards chose to dedicate their centenary gift not to themselves, but to others. They dedicated it to the young people of South Africa, the rural communities we serve and the future we are building together.
An Ecosystem of Learning and Working
We have pioneered a unique holistic ecosystem that partners with young people in their journey to becoming well-rounded, employable citizens of the future.
We offer creative and wonder-filled digital education, complementary to the school curriculum, to Grade 3 to Grade 7 primary school learners.
For school-leavers, we offer courses that “bridge the gap” between high school and the next big step in their lives, as well as vocation-driven training.
Then, we help place graduates at our partner tourism and contact centre establishments – bringing the education journey full circle to meaningful employment!
