Chief Executive Officer
Current🌍 Ashley Maritz | CEO of Touching Lives NPO | Community Upliftment & Social Investment AdvocateAs the CEO of Touching Lives, my mission is to uplift and empower communities by driving impactful, sustainable change through strategic partnerships and community-centered projects. Our vision is to provide the gift of opportunity to disadvantaged communities throughout Africa by tackling challenges in education, sanitation, and resource accessibility.One of our key initiatives is our school sanitation upgrade project. In too many disadvantaged schools, pit toilets remain the only option, posing serious health and safety risks to children. Through this initiative, we’re actively seeking support from investors to transition these facilities to safe, modern ablution blocks, creating a safer and more dignified environment for our youth to thrive. Our initiatives exist at a community level through infrastructure upgrades & social development programmes. At Touching Lives, we believe that partnerships are crucial to sustainable impact. By fostering strategic relationships with influential organisations, we aim to enhance our reach and effectiveness. By aligning with corporate social investment (CSI) goals, we create a win-win framework that benefits both communities and corporate partners.Currently, we’re discussing initiatives to support school acquisitions in rural villages, aligning our shared vision to uplift education and community resources.With a decade experience in education and sales, I bring a unique blend of organisational skill and creativity to my leadership style. Whether it’s orchestrating impactful events or advocating for social investment, I strive to bring people together for causes that matter.Connect with me to explore how we can create a brighter future for all South Africans and Africans, one project at a time.
