How we help
The charity was founded in the belief that ‘an ounce of action is worth a ton of theory’ and that on-the-job training provides the best learning platform.
Over the past decade our courses have enabled over 80% of our students to find employment or enter tertiary education. There is widespread celebrity endorsement for our work, with some of the world’s leading actors, performers, entrepreneurs and politicians supporting its tangible impact.
