Reimagine education with us

Young people, especially in rural communities, need access to new ways of learning and innovative learning environments in which they can thrive … AND which prepare them for a digital future. That’s what Good Work Foundation aims to do, every single day.

What we do

We challenge HOW we learn, WHAT we learn and WHO has access to learning. We are reimagining education in South Africa to use it as a tool for a future of abundance for all.

What we strive for

Our goal is to deliver wonder-filled 21st-century learning opportunities to rural and marginalised communities in South Africa.

What we envision

Our dream is to export the Good Work Foundation model as a sustainable blueprint for future rural education that can be scaled to other parts of sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere in the world.

About

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.

AI: our ally in the evolving landscape of work and learning

Will artificial intelligence take our jobs in the future? No, but people who know how to use AI effectively just might, the World Economic Forum predicts. And that’s why our education system needs to embrace the opportunities that AI offers instead of treating new technologies as a threat or something to be feared.

Our work

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!
