Target demographics: The primary beneficiaries of the project are ambitious under-served young people in South Africa and Rwanda, male and female, ages 18-25. All These Numbers Have Faces students show promise and dedication in their academic endeavors and community involvement, and are actively engaged with our partner community empowerment programs, yet are prevented from pursuing higher education due to extreme financial hardships.

Secondary beneficiaries include family members of the students and ultimately the broader community, as an increased number of young men and women become educated, financially literate, and committed to investing in their communities.

Direct beneficiaries per year: 15-24

Someone who had 3 hours of volunteer time could: South Africa: Tutoring, life skills workshops, office management.
USA: Direct mailings, fundraising activities

Geographic areas served: Cape Flats, Townships, Cape Town, South Africa, Kigali, Rwanda

Mission:

These Numbers Have Faces educates and empowers African youth to become leaders, reduce poverty, and transform their countries from the inside out.

Together we can empower the next generation to reach their potential as leaders committed to the growth and development of their countries.

Results:

To date, These Numbers Have Faces has provided eighteen South African students and four Rwandan students college scholarships within the Community Impact Program.

These guys not only have their hearts in the right place, but their understanding of what the needs are in South Africa - and how those needs can be met by members WITHIN the community - is astounding and inspiring.
