Tertiary Applications & Learnerships Drive

BACKGROUND

HOW TO BENEFIT WITHIN OUR IMPLEMENTATION BUDGET

 This project aims to encourage and help  learners from rural or disadvantaged backgrounds and areas to apply to tertiary institutions and expose them to learnership programmes offered or available to them from different organizations. 

 

Based on the vast travelling distances from rural areas to central locations, we envisage two events per province, i.e. two districts per province.  Buses will be arranged in order to transport learners to and from the event grounds, departing from their various schools.  Consultants will engage them on arrival to ascertain whether they know what they would like to study at tertiary level or not.  Should they require further assistance councilors will be on hand to assist them make good career choices.  The learners will then be guided through the online application processes based on their interests and academic performance.

 

Every year South Africa faces one of the biggest challenges when it comes to registration at tertiary institutions. Stampedes at the institutions, wrong course enrolments, missing persons because learners leave their homes without knowing where they are going to sleep are some of the compelling reasons for this project.

 

As  PBO(Public Beneficiary Organization Hope Givers Foundation, in its objectives portray a profound element of Education and Development which are deeds listed as PBA(Public Beneficiary Activities) within section 30 of the South African Income Tax Laws .


Therefore any contributions of funds made towards this PBO will also be identified as a PBA which then qualifies you to attain a tax break formally known as a sectionn18A Tax exemption(tax deduction) however a minimum  contribution of a R100 000 qualifies you to attain a tax deduction.
