Welcome To Edufundi

Edufundi is a non-profit organisation that provides structured in-classroom mentorship and support to teachers and leadership teams in under-resourced primary schools across South Africa. We have been in existence since 1998, with the continued aim of improving educational outcomes for previously disadvantaged learners.

We believe that the greatest resource in any school is its teachers; to invest in teacher development is to invest in the future of our country. Our focus is therefore on building teachers’ capacity to make everyday teaching and learning more effective. Partnering with educators and school leaders in a way that offers practical and sustainable solutions to their specific challenges has proven to make a real, measurable and concrete difference to learner achievement.

At present our mentors are working in 60 primary schools across four provinces in South Africa, impacting 289 teachers and 341 School Management Team (SMT) members, and the 14 786 learners in their care. Through careful monitoring and evaluation we are able to track progress and performance in real time, which enables us to adapt our methods to the specific needs of each school.
