We are changing the story for
Young South Africans
Even Ground is transforming the lives of children and families in South Africa by partnering with community-based organizations that drive high-impact education, health and nutrition, and youth development solutions. We achieve this by partnering with organizations who have the greatest potential for impact in the communities where they are based. Through increasing financial investments, capacity development, and knowledge sharing, we are able to build these organizationsā sustainability and amplify their impact. Together, we are working towards a South Africa where every child thrives.
Connecting
Changemakers
By connecting changemakers in the US with local changemakers in South Africa, we support the success of the children they serve.
This partnership paves the way for the greatest potential for local impact. Our role is to connect these local organizations and leaders, who have the highest potential for deep and meaningful impact in the historically disadvantaged communities where they are based, with individuals in the US who can help make this change possible.
By recognising and harnessing the power of financial resources and global networks and the power of community-led innovation, Even Ground is able to bring diverse changemakers together to inspire action and enable lasting impact.
By facilitating connections across continents, Even Ground enables you to become a part of these solutions on the ground.
