Tomorrow’s Leaders is dedicated to enhancing tertiary education and environmental awareness in communities that serve as stewards of our landscapes and seascapes. This mission directly aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education).
Operating since 1996, CLEF provides bursaries along with psycho-social support to rural youth from South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Tanzania, Zanzibar and Kenya. It was born out of recognition by Community Leaders, that to truly break the cycle of poverty in rural Africa, the youth had to access tertiary level education in order to gain the skills to increase their employability. Our Vision 2030 goal is for 5% of school leavers in our partner communities to receive tertiary support with 80% of these students finding employment within 3 years.
