“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” – Nelson Mandela

We know you want to live a life of significance. To be a Changemaker:

Empowering Communities, Creating Awareness of Nature, and Making a Lasting Impact. This is your opportunity to GET INVOLVED, and to make a difference that will ripple impact into the world. With your support, we can build a brighter, sustainable future for beneficiaries who are in desperate need.
In a world that’s rapidly advancing, too many are left behind, trapped in poverty due to limited access to quality education, resources, and opportunities. We have the power to change this.

At More Community Foundation, we’re not about quick fixes. We’re about creating sustainable solutions to end poverty cycles and educational opportunities. Sustainability is about balancing present needs with the capacity of future generations to meet their own needs.

We follow the ‘triple bottom line of sustainability’ approach, guided by the principles of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Quality Education:

Inclusive education to enable upward social mobility and end poverty

No Poverty:

Access to basic human needs of health, education, sanitation

Environmental Sustainability:

We advocate for practices that protect our environment and responsibly utilise natural resources.

Social Sustainability:

We strive to foster inclusive communities, promoting equitable access to resources and opportunities.

Our comprehensive strategy includes three key pillars:

  • Education & Skills Development
  • Improving Living Standards
  • Community Tours and Guest Experiences

Education & Skills Development

We offer comprehensive education programs (from early childhood to post-graduate) and skills development to spur personal growth and create future education, employment, or entrepreneurship opportunities. We partnered with the Good Work Foundation (GWF) and Sabi Sand Pfunanani Trust (SSPT) to bring pupils from the local primary and high schools on game drives, giving the learners opportunities to explore and experience the game reserve to learn about animals, plants, and habitats that relate to and support their curriculum.

Improving Living Standards

We ensure access to basic human needs, advocating for sustainable infrastructure like clean water and proper sanitation to enhance community living standards.

Community Tours and Guest Experiences

We offer guests opportunities to visit projects and gain insight into local life. This popular initiative enables guests to actively contribute to local community projects focused on education, health, the environment, and infrastructure. These hands-on experiences provide an authentic connection to Southern Africa and create more meaningful journeys.

Strategy in Action … Here’s how we do it:

Sustainability is not just a concept for us; it’s the way we live. From adopting eco-friendly practices to promoting inclusive treatment of all individuals and conducting business ethically, we are dedicated to creating a positive impact at every moment.
We have some projects in the Greater Kruger in South Africa through which strategy is transformed into action.

Projects are supported and funded by MORE Family Collection’s Lodges the guests who visit (through immersive ‘Get Your Hands Dirty’ community experiences), and by a number of generous individuals, bodies and businesses – just like you – in Southern Africa and around the world …

So, what is the significance of the life we lead? The choice is ours. Let’s make it count.
