Focus areas
Social infrastructure addresses South Africa's persistent inequities by improving access to essential services. These are the four areas where we concentrate.
01 · Project type
Infrastructural challenges in South African schools take many forms, from limited access to services to schools operating in unsafe structures.
As the population continues to grow, this pressure is only expected to increase, leading to a greater shortage of adequately equipped schools in the future.
02 · Project type
12%
of South Africa's medical resources are allocated to rural areas
South Africa's healthcare infrastructure remains under significant strain, with a gap between access in rural and urban areas.
Without reliable and nearby facilities, already vulnerable communities are placed under further strain, reinforcing existing inequalities.
03 · Project type
35%+
of women over 18 have experienced physical or sexual violence in their lifetime
Gender-based violence remains one of South Africa's most pressing social challenges, and many cases are believed to go unreported.
GBV Centres provide safe, accessible spaces where survivors can access integrated support services.
04 · Project type
1 in 5
South Africans lack access to safe, sufficient and reliable drinking water
Ageing infrastructure, climate pressures, and growing demand continue to strain the country's water resources.
Vulnerable communities consequently face increased health risks, reduced economic opportunities, and deepening social inequalities.
Focus initiatives
Each initiative provides a focused approach to planning, implementation, and impact measurement, so a project responds to its specific objectives while contributing to measurable outcomes.
Water, sanitation and hygiene
Reliable supply and resilient reticulation
Energy and infrastructure that withstands pressure
Facilities that close the rural access gap
Safe spaces with integrated support services
Connectivity and digital learning capability
