OUR STORY

It started with four words.

In 2010, a 54-year-old wash-bay attendant named Havington approached Beverley with a question she will never forget. "Can you help me to learn to write my name?" What followed was a journey that unlocked a bank account, a new language, and a lifetime of dignity — and it became the founding heartbeat of Jogo Charitable Trust.

Our Impact Programmes

We bridge the gap between potential and opportunity through focused interventions in education and leadership.

Youth Development

From building emotional resilience in 10-year-olds to preparing matric students for the future — we invest in young South Africans at every stage of their school journey. Four programmes. Real results. Measurable change. 

Your donation invests in a generation

Leadership & Adult Development

World-class SMI and LMI programmes, individually tailored — for entrepreneurs, aspiring leaders, teachers and anyone ready to grow beyond where they are today. Because leadership is not a position. It is a decision

Your donation develops a leader South Africa needs

University & College Funding

Bursaries for university and college students. Mentorship for young entrepreneurs. We remove the financial barriers that should never have been there in the first place — because talent is everywhere in South Africa. 

Your donation opens a door that changes everything

“In that single moment, Havington saw exactly what was possible: that education isn’t just about the classroom—it’s the keys to a future we haven’t even dreamt of yet.”

Founding Moment

Two ways to give. One powerful outcome.

Whether you're an individual who believes in human potential, or a business looking to make your CSI spend count — there is a place for you at Jogo.

Your CSI spend, working harder.

Donating to Jogo Charitable Trust is more than good corporate citizenship — it is a strategic business decision. As a registered non-profit and compliant BBBEE partner, your contribution qualifies across multiple elements of the codes: Socio-Economic Development (SED) 1% of NPAT · Skills Development up to 6% of payroll · Enterprise Development 1% of NPAT. We understand the BEE codes from both sides of the table. Every partnership is tailored to your specific compliance needs, with full documentation and reporting provided.

Your investment is measurable. Your impact is real.

Your gift. A lifetime of impact.

You don't need a company budget to change a life. A single donation to Jogo funds the education, training or bursary that stands between a young South African and the future they are capable of building. We believe that when willingness meets opportunity, magic happens. You provide the opportunity. Every rand donated goes directly to a beneficiary. No overheads. No waste. Just impact.

Be the change. Open a door today.

Every door you open changes a life forever.

Your donation funds education, skills and opportunity for South Africans who are ready and waiting.
