Giving Hope to South Africa’s Youth: One Field Guide at a Time
As we celebrate this monumental achievement, we are also eagerly preparing to welcome our next intake of 33 trainees in July. This initiative is not a one-off; it’s a sustainable, replicable model that offers a lifeline to those on the fringes, bringing them into the heart of our economy.
This journey is not ours alone; it’s a shared vision that brings together purpose-driven businesses and individuals who recognise the power of education and opportunity to change lives and communities. By investing in these initiatives, you’re not just contributing to sustainable employment; you’re fostering a long-term social development that promises to uplift entire communities.
Imagine the impact of having more field guides, educated and employed, hailing from the very communities we aim to uplift. Imagine the benefits that flow from this – not just to the individuals themselves but to their families, their communities, and the broader economy.
We extend heartfelt thanks to our partners MORE Field Guide College (MFGC), Timbavati Game Reserve, and The Timbavati Foundation, as well as our sponsors Tshikululu Trust, Anglo American Platinum, Italtile Foundation and Warthog Wallow. Their shared commitment has allowed us to expand our program into the Kruger region, sponsor more students, and provide vital professional development opportunities. This Youth Day, their contributions stand as shining examples of how collaborative efforts can spark significant social development, empowering South Africa’s youth, one field guide at a time.
Let’s commit to turning this vision into a reality. Let’s stand together in the belief that our youth is our future. We are committed to that future – and with your help, we can ensure that this is a future where everyone has a chance to succeed.
