Our work

What we do

We’re on a mission to spark the economy from the ground up — by equipping young people in under-resourced communities with the maths skills, mindset, and soft skills they need to thrive in life and work.

We start early, running after-school Maths Clubs in primary schools to build strong numeracy foundations, problem-solving ability, and confidence. Led by trained local youth, these clubs make learning fun, inspiring, and effective — and create jobs in the process.

We go beyond numbers. In partnership with Columba Leadership, we now deliver programmes that grow mindset, leadership, and work-readiness — helping young people communicate well, think critically, work in teams, and lead with purpose.

Our approach is:

  • Locally led – We train community members to run clubs and programmes.
  • Proven – Backed by Rhodes University research with measurable results.
  • Scalable – Designed for South Africa’s realities using low-cost, open-source materials.
  • Future-focused – Building both hard and soft skills that employers need.

From primary school learners to unemployed youth, we’re creating a pipeline of future-ready, confident problem-solvers who can break cycles of poverty, revitalise their communities, and drive South Africa forward.
