About
Who We Are
We are here not for income, but for outcome
Isifundo is a computer literacy training organisation started in August 2013 by Rhyn Potgieter and Neville Van Deutekom. Since our inception we have trained roughly 50 people, a few of whom have been able to acquire jobs. The training provided has given many of our students confidence and hope for a brighter future. We are also pleased to say that a number of our students have become teachers within our training centres.
Our Vision
Our aim is to establish a strong network of community-owned digital training hubs in underprivileged areas that will provide quality education and mentorship.
Our Mission
We will achieve this by facilitating essential digital literacy training programmes that teach people valuable skills from which they can earn an income.
