We are excited to announce that our UberGIVING partner for September and October was Tomorrow Trust. We believe that education is one of the most important investments a country can make in its people and its future, and Tomorrow Trust is a South African NGO that works to break the cycle of poverty using Integrated education and Holistic support.

We have specifically focused on helping a wonderful student, Mahlogonolo, who is studying BSc Life and Environmental Sciences to become a Biochemist.

Want to know more about Tomorrow Trust?

Tomorrow Trust was established 10 years ago and is committed to altering the course of education in our country.

Their beneficiaries are orphan and vulnerable children and youth. They support and develop each individual to reach their potential to become leaders that are self-sustainable and proactive citizens. The programmes cover the entire educational journey of the individual from Grade R – Grade 12 as well as University or College. This is done at different entry points in a totally holistic manner that uses both academic and psycho social support.

They have 2000 direct beneficiaries with 161 Alumni all working in top companies in our country. They have truly broken the cycle for generations to come!

What is UberGIVING? Previously we automatically rounded down the value of your trip to the nearest rand. We’re now leaving the value of the trip as is and contributing the extra amount to non-profit organisations. In keeping with the business model, our partner-drivers will still earn 80% of each fare. These small amounts donated from each riders trip, although a few cents here and there, when combined with riders across the country become a significant contribution. Our first partner was Reach for a Dream from May to July and then Blow the Whistle for August.
