Tomorrow Trust is a non-profit organisation based in South Africa. The organisation supports orphaned and vulnerable children throughout their journey with holistic education-encompassing academics and life skills with self-development, all with the objective of empowering them to reach their full potential as proactive and self-sustaining members of society. Through providing holistic support – academic and psychosocial – students have the opportunity of receiving the education they deserve.

The organisation believes in a HAND UP approach that empowers and emancipates youth in South Africa from poverty, rather than a HAND OUT approach that keeps them entrenched in charity. Providing them with the skills and tools needed to survive in the 21^st century, Tomorrow Trust’s graduates are empowered to reach their full potential as proactive and self-sustaining members of society.

With close to nine million of South Africa’s twelve-million school-age population enduring the lockdown with serious constraints on hygiene, learning supplies and basic food, the organisation has launched the #changethestory campaign. Through the campaign, Tomorrow Trust has been able to provide 400 hygiene, food and learning packs to under-resourced households. Included in the pack are one-month WhatsApp data bundles that enable children and caregivers to join WhatsApp groups and receive guidance on how to access free online educational resources.
