Mission

The Umkhumbane Schools Project seeks to develop a new kind of non-profit corporate entity that can make a transformative difference in advancing education equity. Through the strength of this model, we implement programs that empower learners, strengthen schools, and open doors to higher education. Drawing on the experience and insight gained through our work, we seek to provide thought leadership within the interconnected fields of education, sustainability, and social transformation.
