Education is one of the keys to a brighter future; it helps nurture our next generation of leaders, giving them the tools to innovate and make change! These are the charities on our radar in 2025:
South Africa (06 January 2025) – Education is vital for the development of healthy children. Learning to read and write and having access to educational support, financial support and emotional support all play a vital role in just how well-adapted a child becomes.
On this list, you will find homework clubs, reading charities, schooling infrastructure organisations and more. This list is in no way comprehensive. As we work through the year of 2025, we will hopefully grow this list.
Please note that this is a working list, so keep sending through your charities, and we will keep adding them! If you are looking for child protection and welfare charities, you will find that list here.
