The Learning Trust

The Learning Trust is a non-profit, grant making and capacity support service provider whose focus is to support and strengthen local, effective and sustained educational interventions that target South Africa's children growing up in conditions of poverty and exclusion. As a well-regarded grant maker, we provide financial support and build the capacity of over 60 small, community-based organisations in the Western Cape, Eastern Cape and Gauteng. We do this through focused training, mentoring and ongoing coaching in a variety of organisational development areas. Our strong relationships with our grantees allow for significant growth and development over an extended period of time. We have established ourselves as a respected facilitator in the transformation of the After School/extended learning sector in South Africa and support the creation of collaborative education clusters within the three provinces we currently serve.
