The Butterfly Project is a transformational initiative aimed at young girls in Primary School. Pairing a Scholarship with mentorship and development opportunities, the Butterfly Project aims to create an environment where young girls can realise their potential and equip them with the resources and opportunities needed to achieve that potential. Beginning in the Foundation Phase of learning, the Butterfly Project aims to create solid foundations for holistic success in education as well as other areas of life. The Foundation phase is a significant education milestone that sets up a person for the rest of their educational journey by creating the foundation for literacy, numeracy, and thinking skills. In South Africa, a girl?s chance of completing school is about 30%, yet with input in the early years before Grade 4, research indicates the success rates increase dramatically. It is our hope to help improve these girls? foundational skills so that they can succeed in school.

The Buntu Majalaza Scholarship is a project that is aimed at funding learners from previously disadvantaged backgrounds through High School. The aim is to provide a holistic, well-rounded education offering the opportunity for learners to experience a safe and secure environment in which they can participate in a school which exposes them to academic development, a variety of sports, cultural expression and community service. It was named in honor of Buntu Majalaza who was the first in his family to complete High School and University. Buntu tragically passed away in 2008, but even in the short time that he was on earth, he left a lasting legacy with every person with whom he came into contact. He was a hard working person of character, resilience, and carried an attitude of service into every pursuit.
