Build The Future is a non-profit organization that works to create thriving and sustainable communities anchored in local relationships. We aim to meet the basic needs of communities through early childhood development programs, education and community development programs.

Near Johannesburg, we run a feeding program in Soweto and a preschool in the informal settlement of Kya Sand. We 2 preschools, a makers market, and a teaching garden near Durban in Ndwedwe.

Volunteer Program
One of our biggest driving forces today is our 'American Connection', as we like to call it. For many years, volunteers from the US-based organization called Crossroads in Cincinnati have visited our various locations across South Africa.
Get to Know Us
Once a school is built we dont simply move on, we spend majority of our resources training members from the communities that house the schools to run the show, creating jobs and unity through shared investment.
