Why ACT ?

Because:
in the world today 258 million children ​- 1 out of 5 - 
cannot ​go to school. Lost potential.

Because:
women entrepreneurs across
sub-Saharan Africa earn
less than men (34 % less). 

Because:  
​girls perform better in most
​school subjects than boys. 
​Lost potential.

Because:  
​empowering women entrepreneurs
to send their children to school is ​simply smart economics .

We have been very fortunate in running our successful conference and event agencies,  Motivation and MotivationAfrica.

Traveling for our work and interacting with all levels of society, we have come across many difficult personal and societal situations, particularly in South Africa, a land of hope and a fragile laboratory of tolerance.

Women there, like everywhere, are the backbone of society. Children our future.

​We believe in giving back. 
​So we created ACT to have a structure.
​
Early on, we financed projects entirely from our personal funds.  Now, support from people like you enable us to extend the reach of the action. We still personally cover all travel and admin costs. Every cent we receive goes directly to the beneficiaries.
