A bridge between now and the future.
Under-resourced schools deserve the same opportunities as any other. Support Your School was started in 2012 with a desire to support educational institutions and schools, and has grown into a foundation built to close South Africa's opportunity gap.
Not every school gets the same chance.
The South African economic landscape has many peaks but just as many dark valleys. Unfortunately, this means that many learners at under-resourced schools do not get exposed to the quality education that could help to break generational cycles of poverty and lack, a gap South Africa's own Department of Basic Education continues to work to close.
Four bridges. One mission.
Four focus areas. One bridge.
Our programmes are phased, teacher-driven, and built for scale, designed so that a single funded school becomes the blueprint for the next hundred.
Teacher Training
We come alongside passionate educators, providing expert, focused training to upskill them so the next generation can learn the skills to navigate the 4th Industrial Revolution.
Robotics Equipment
Tailored for children from 3 years old all the way to leaving high school, helping them move from concrete to abstract thought while growing in coding skills and social-emotional development.
Teacher Resources
Curriculum that helps hold the hand of rural teachers as they grow in confidence. Mission guides give step-by-step, project-based tasks that build real-world problem solving.
AI Training for Teachers
We help under-resourced teachers leverage AI to create lesson plans, presentations and more, growing their confidence as they walk their own AI pathways.
From funding to future-ready learners.
A simple logic model for corporates and funders: what goes in, what we do with it, and what changes as a result.
Funding + Kits + Training
Corporate CSI investment, Cubroid & mBot2 kits, and structured training modules.
Training & Sessions
ECD educator training, learner coding & robotics sessions, ongoing support and coaching.
Centres, Teachers, Learners
Number of centres supported, teachers trained, and learners reached, tracked every cycle.
Lasting Capability
Improved school readiness, digital literacy, and a future STEM pipeline for South Africa.

Empower the future of education.
The work of the SYS Foundation is only possible because of collaboration, between caring individuals, private organisations, school communities, and public benefit partners supporting under-resourced schools. When we work together, we're not just providing resources, we're building a bridge that gives children real opportunities.
On behalf of our schools, their learners, and the wider communities they serve, thank you for walking this journey with us and helping shape the future, one child at a time.
