True North is a Section 21 Company founded in 2007, prompted by the desire to bring meaningful change to vulnerable and underprivileged communities in South Africa through education, research and the sharing of technology. We embarked upon a data gathering exercise aimed at better understanding the challenges faced by vulnerable communities, whilst also exploring the framework provided by local and national government, as well as the existing capacity within the non-profit sector. True North transitioned from a research effort to a fully-fledged project in 2014, with Early Childhood Development (ECD) as the convergence point of the company’s current efforts. Our vision is to see places of light, nurture, learning and safety established for all children.
