We are a group of South Africans who are determined to change our future by investing in the children and youth of our country.

In 2008, a group of Christian professionals from the social and corporate sectors came together with a collective concern for the well-being of our South African communities, especially children and the youth. Schools were identified as centres from where children and the youth could be served and research was conducted to determine the relevant needs, problems and resources within local schools. Data from this research laid the foundation for the development of our unique model for school-based services, piloted in 2009 at one Stellenbosch school and since rolled out to more schools and communities.
