Trevor Noah Foundation

The Trevor Noah Foundation is a non-profit organisation that equips orphans and vulnerable youth with the education, life skills, and social capital necessary to pursue further opportunity upon graduating high school or matric. Our vision is a South Africa that advances because each generation excels beyond its predecessor. In order for this to happen, youth require the tools, skills, and pathways to opportunity required to improve their lives and catalyze change in their communities. With an estimated 3.7 million orphans and vulnerable children in South Africa and youth unemployment rates at an all time high, it’s our goal to prevent the most vulnerable from slipping through the cracks. We achieve this by investing in three priority areas: psycho-social support, skills development, and career guidance. By partnering with government schools, researching innovative approaches, and mobilizing philanthropic capital, we hope to drive sustainable change that improves the lives of the most vulnerable youth in South Africa.
