Leaders for Literacy
We launched our Leaders for Literacy pilot in March this year, welcoming 10 schools, 10 alumni school principals and 20 School Management Team members onto the two-year programme. This pilot is taking place in the greater Durban area with collaboration partners, KICP.
The simultaneous capacity building of SMT members, principals (Citizen Leader Lab) and foundation phase teachers (KICP) aims to empower the school’s leadership team to effectively ensure that the required literacy foundations are put in place.

Spotlight on purpose-driven leadership
Our CEO, Komala Pillay, successfully completed the prestigious NGO Whisperer Fellowship. Through expert-led masterclasses, mentorship, and global networking opportunities, the six-month initiative is designed to empower exceptional social sector leaders like Komala with the skills, networks, resources, and practical strategies needed to drive meaningful change in their communities.
These achievements reflect the commitment of our team and partners to building strong, conscious, resilient leadership across sectors. Stay with us on this journey! There is more transformation on the horizon!
