Giving Back

GT Treasured Lives Foundation is a Non-Profit Company (NPC), duly registered in terms of the laws of South Africa in 2011, although its work was started in 2004. Treasured Lives is a wholly education, youth, and women empowerment entity that focuses on transforming lives whilst ensuring that the family unit remains intact.

We also focus on strategic projects where companies share their vision and goals, and we implement projects on their behalf. The vision of the foundation is to transform lives to the TOP, and our 5 strategic pillars are education, youth, women, technology, and strategic projects.

Please help us reach our Vision 2030. Partner, Sponsor, Donate!

We use technology to enable transformation of lives in disadvantaged areas. Our Focus is to:

Build and maintain worthy sustainable partnerships for transformation of lives.
Increase awareness and increase more learners’ interest towards 4IR and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics).

Grow a fund for registration and application fees for the disadvantaged to get access into tertiary education.

SCHOOL	2011%	2012%	2013%
Jangjo High	–	72	92.1

* These are core village schools, very far from nearest towns. Motivation is very low and situations around are not helping either. Most of these schools have no computers, labs and good working libraries.
