Nourish is a NoN Profit organization registered with the Department of Social Development in South Africa. Started by a young South African woman in 2011, Nourish was created to be a platform that could link conservation needs, issues and ideals with community issues and ideals - and aims to find integrated sustainable solutions to conservation issues such as poverty, low education standards, lack if food security and unemployment. Finding solutions that break the poverty cycle and create healthy resilient communities are ultimately solutions that link these individuals and communities back to their wildlife heritage and the jobs/opportunities created in the wildlife and tourism economy. Especially in the area of Acornhoek, Mpumalanga, where we focus our projects, there is a huge amount of poaching which is a conservation issue, but also a huge amount of poverty, as this is a neglected and under served area/community in South Africa. Solutions aimed at linking and bridging the two are the only way for this area to have a sustainable future. This is where Nourish focuses it's projects; investing into sustainable livelihoods that will benefit communities and conservation, boosting their resilience.

The KwaZulu-Natal Children's Hospital Trust is leading the transformation of Africa's first dedicated children's hospital - the KwaZulu-Natal Children's Hospital, a historic landmark in Durban, South Africa - into a world-class Centre of Excellence for child and adolescent healthcare. In partnership with the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health, we are restoring this once-forgotten hospital as a beacon of hope, with a particular focus on addressing critical gaps in neurodevelopmental and mental health services. Opened in 1931, the hospital provided care until 1984, when it was closed by the apartheid government because it treated children of all races. After decades of neglect, the Trust was established in 2011 to restore the facility through a public-private partnership with the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health, with a dual mission: renovate the hospital and re-establish vital child and adolescent services. Today, it stands as a symbol of renewal and equity, ensuring that every child and adolescent has access to care.

The Foundation was established in 2006 as St David's Marist Inanda's philanthropic and fundraising trust. The Foundation's main programmes aim to exponentially increase access to a quality St David's education both on the main St David's Marist Inanda campus through full bursaries for underprivileged boys (including boarding, uniforms and educational supplies), and on the St David's Marist Alexandra campus (established 2023), for young high school scholars primarily from and in Alexandra, to assist them and their families to break the cycle of poverty, unemployment, and poor education opportunities. The Foundation's mission is to ensure that an absence of means is no obstacle to a talented financially underprivileged boy receiving a quality St David's Marist Inanda education, and to exponentially increase access to a quality St David's education through the St David's Marist Inanda Alexandra satellite campus. The Foundation's aim is to contribute to fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goal 4 - of access to Quality Education. St David's is a specialist in boys' education and this is vital given growing evidence of a boy crisis in education. A March 2024 Financial Mail report, Lost Boys - inside South Africa's new education crisis, highlights that girls are pulling ahead of boys in all subjects and grades. In 2023, 72 765 more girls than boys passed the National Senior Certificate. The report warns South Africa must urgently address this looming crisis. St David's Marist Inanda Alexandra directly responds by supporting boys in one of South Africa's most disadvantaged communities, ensuring they are not left behind.
