OUR INITIATIVES

2BE PROJECT

The 2Be Project helps young people build a solid foundation on which they can build. It’s run at schools, and engages learners, teachers, principals, and parents/guardians. The programme focuses on imparting values that have sustained society for thousands of years such as ethics, principles, and character development. By reaching and influencing all parties involved in a young person’s life, a ripple effect of positive change is created that impacts communities one individual, and one family at a time.

PROUD 2BE SHE

Far too often, female learners miss crucial days of school due to their inability to access sanitary products during their menstrual cycles. The Proud 2Be She initiative supports these young women by distributing reusable sanitary products and facilitating workshops that guide them through their journey into womanhood. Besides sponsoring sanitary products; the Nolands Foundation engages with the learners to impart knowledge about self-worth and empowers them to embrace their unique identity with pride.

THE NOVA INITIATIVE

As a result of social media, broken family units, and negative influences, mental well-being is at an all-time low, and teenage suicide rates are deeply concerning. Through the NOVA initiative being launched in 2025, the Nolands Foundation is committed to addressing critical mental health challenges by assisting at-risk youth and teachers.

Research demonstrates that people connected to nature are typically happier and more likely to find life meaningful. Nature generates positive emotions such as calmness, joy and creativity; and is also associated with lower levels of depression and anxiety.

Recognising that many young people lack access to high-quality nature spaces, the Foundation’s goal is to facilitate transformative experiences in nature for learners and teachers, offering a potential pathway to improved mental health and well-being.

Archbishop Tutu said that we should all do our bit of good wherever we are, because it’s the bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.

INSIDE OUT

Currently, we collaborate with several organisations that are already making a difference in the educational space. We therefore operate from the inside out. Our partners already have a footprint, all we do is come alongside them enabling them to maximise their reach.

We are proud that our leadership, staff and clients are collectively adding massive value. Harnessing this collective energy allows us the opportunity to maximise what we do and make a difference in our communities. We would like to invite you to join us in our quest by joining the Nolands Foundation 100 Club.

INSIDE OUT
Foundation Club

In 2021 The Nolands Foundation launched The 100 Club. Unlike most clubs, this one is made up of companies and individuals who would like to partner with us to raise the next generation of leaders. The 100 Club is not exclusive, in fact, all are welcome.

To join, you simply have to be committed to making a difference in the lives of the young people we work with. Easy!

 

An invitation to join the 100 Club

 

Although thousands of people have benefitted from the work we do, we’d like to do so much more. Instead of trying to raise funds project by project, our goal is to create a sustainable income stream which will allow us to plan accordingly.

The projects we work on are life-changing, and we’d therefore like to invite you and your company to join us in our quest. Doing so will help these initiatives become scalable, effective and transformational.

Our Steps

Our steps to encourage our clients to become proactive are the following:

  • 01

    Look at transformation strategically.

  • 02

    Structure a B-BBEE Strategy that fits with the company's long-term goals before the next verification falls due.

  • 03

    Look for ways to fulfil short-term goals. We’re able to guide clients on how to achieve short-term wins that are well within most companies’ strategies and capabilities.

  • 04

    Take a broader view of B-BBEE that will contribute to meaningful economic transformation and growth.

  • 05

    Allow the Nolands Foundation to prepare your organisation to not only meet, but to maximise its compliance goals.

  • 06

    The Nolands Foundation works with organisations who do amazing work. We have verified and approved these organisations, as they can provide real impact and maximum B-BBEE and SED points for clients.

  • 07

    Most importantly, make a difference.

Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.
