About Us

We are a dynamic and professional team dedicated to driving change in the education system.

Our History

NLF was founded in 2009 as a grassroots initiative with a mission to create positive futures for South African learners.

We have grown into a dynamic non-profit organisation that has partnered with government and the private sector to drive sustainable change in education in South Africa.

For more than a decade, our dedicated team has focused on building a culture of data-driven decision making through our Data Driven Districts (DDD) programme to improve the quality of interventions in education districts across the country.

Our Values

Integrity

We are honest, open, ethical and fair. Our clients trust us to adhere to our word.

Courageous Leadership

We are honest about our impact and courageously learn from our successes and failures.

Excellence

We strive to excel in everything we do. We consistently push our boundaries and measure our delivery.

Pioneering

We boldly confront uncertainty and armed with passion and entrepreneurial spirit we deliver innovative solutions.

Team Spirit

We believe that people working together can create greater impact than any one individual or organisation can accomplish alone.

Meet the Team

Our dynamic team of talented young South Africans is passionate about driving systemic, long-term change in the education sector.
