Our Vision

To unlock the potential of youth leaders in school and community who, through education and entrepreneurship, build sustainable futures.

The Leadership Crisis

In South Africa, many learners lack access to quality education and leadership development opportunities that would enable them to build sustainable futures for themselves and their communities.

Education Challenges

Many South African learners don’t have access to the quality education and leadership opportunities needed to reach their full potential.

Leadership Gap

Without proper leadership development, learners struggle to develop the skills and mindsets needed to create positive change in their communities.

Learner Lack Role Model

Learners in the communities we serve lack exposure to leadership opportunities to lead and empower to lead.

Community Impact

This leadership gap contributes to broader societal challenges and limits South Africa’s potential for growth and innovation.

Learner Vision

When our learners are 25, they will be servant leaders, with the skills and mindsets needed to build sustainable futures for themselves and their communities driven by a deep sense of purpose. They will be on a growth journey to understand deeply who they are with a passion to strengthen
bonds between communities by bringing people together through collective leadership.

"Teach the Nation was founded on the belief that every child in South Africa has the power to shape their destiny and create a lasting impact on the world."

David Oliphant, CEO

Our Theory of Change

Meaningful change happens when we cultivate a collective force of leaders. Driven by the vision of an equitable South Africa that helps every child realize their full potential, our leaders use education as the path to create sustainable futures.

We recruit promising graduates and place them as teachers in under-resourced schools, where they inspire learners to develop creativity, entrepreneurship and leadership. Through education leadership, social entrepreneurship, and innovation, we’re addressing systemic inequities rooted in South Africa’s history
