We make the things that really matter, matter.

The LifeMatters Foundation understands the education crisis South Africa faces. Our programmes serve to address many of the issues that schools are faced with, but are ill equipped to deal with. Join us in a movement to practically equip and empower the kids in our community to stay in school and become functional, contributing members of society.

Meet Bruce

As an African National, Bruce’s* struggle with the English language affected his ability to understand concepts in Maths. With perseverance and dedication from his volunteer, Bruce’s number concepts started improving and his progress started to skyrocket. His end of Grade 1 LifeMatters assessment result was 30% and in June of Grade 2, when we re-assessed him, he achieved an outstanding 93%! Bruce graduated off our program this term, achieving a result of 88% with our exit assessment which is on par with the Grade 2 curriculum – we are so proud of him.
