“South Africa has one of the most unequal school systems in the world. Children in the top 200 schools achieve more distinctions in mathematics than children in the next 6,600 schools combined. The playing field must be levelled.” – Amnesty International South Africa. The theme that has influenced our work throughout the years is the case for education in South Africa and resilience and hope in adversity. As Trevor Noah highlights in his powerful debut autobiography, “Born a Crime and Other Stories”, education is a means of personal growth and empowerment, a tool for social change, and a means of building a better life for all.
Dear Friends,
It’s hard to believe that five years have passed since we launched Trevor Noah Foundation. In some ways, it feels like we were gathered at New Nation School, in Vrededorp,(meaning “Village of Peace”) South Africa, just yesterday, full of hope and excitement about the work ahead. And in other ways, it feels like we have been on this journey for a lifetime.
I want to start by saying thank you. Thank you for your belief in our mission, your support of our work, and your shared commitment to improving the lives of young people in Southern Africa. None of what we achieved over the past five years would have been possible without you.Dear Friends and Supporters,
I’m delighted to share Trevor Noah Foundation’s first Annual Report celebrating five years of impact with you. Five years ago, Trevor stood on stage at our first partner school to launch TNF alongside two trusting partners, Microsoft and the Johannesburg Parent Child Counselling Centre. As we celebrate our fifth birthday, we share this momentous moment with 19 Khulani School partners, nearly ten implementing partners, and 13 dedicated staff members. Overall, it’s been a period of incredible incremental progress and growth.
Trevor Noah Foundation is driven by a shared passion among our Board Members, who come from
diverse backgrounds and professions. A common objective unites them: equip youth with the
tools and knowledge necessary for success.

Multiple studies have highlighted the significant impact of infrastructure on learner academic achievement, underscoring its crucial role in quality education (Nortje, 2017). In South Africa, the infrastructure backlog poses additional challenges, limiting educators’ ability to provide optimal teaching and learning environments.
