“Kids of today are being told to be the leaders of tomorrow,
but they’re not given the tools. We tell people to follow their dreams, but you can only dream of what you can imagine, and, depending on where you come from, your imagination can be quite limited.”

Trevor Noah Foundation has a storied history, both locally and around the globe. It’s the legacy of legendary comedian, philanthropist, TV show host, and true South African patriot, Trevor Noah. The Foundation is an ode to the greatest gift Trevor Noah has ever received, learning. Fueled by Trevor’s love for education, for giving kids an opportunity, and for the teachers that got him to where he is today; the Foundation honestly believes education is the seed from which everything grows.
We envision a world where an education enables a youth to dream, see, and build the impossible. By empowering our youth, we hope to build a stronger future for all.
It is our mission to mobilize the global community to empower youth with the Foundation for a better life: access to high-quality education.

Trevor Noah, South Africa’s most successful comedian, launched his foundation on 14 April 2018, in his home town. Trevor Noah Foundation is a youth development initiative that enhances youth preparedness for higher education or entry into the workforce. Noah’s vision for South Africa is that it advances because each generation builds and grows beyond its predecessor.
For Noah, educating our youth is key to transforming his vision for South Africa into a reality. “The higher the level of education, the higher chance the youth have of creating a future for themselves and collectively, a better South Africa”, says Noah.
President Cyril Ramaphosa welcomed Trevor Noah to the National Assembly on 7 March 2019. Ramaphosa introduced the international comedian as his special guest.
South Africa is facing an education and youth unemployment crisis. Many young, talented individuals don’t have the opportunity to meet and exceed their potential, allowing them to get lost in a broken system. That is something the Foundation is committed to changing.
We need you to join us by being a part of the solution. Make a donation and help us secure the future for young South Africans today.
