About Us

Who We Are?

Barefoot Edu Foundation is a non-profit organisation committed to transforming schools into stimulating learning environments, contextualised for under-resourced communities. We do this by building the leadership capacity of principals, teachers, and students so that their voice, values, and goals shape education at the grassroots. With our support, they lead change and rapidly improve education and their school as a whole.

Our Vision

Every child has a strong foundation to think, feel, dream, and thrive.

Our Values

  • Trust

    Trust engenders trust

  • Commitment

    To words, actions and people

  • Openness

    The situations on ground will challenge your core values multiple times and mould you as person. Any change, mistake or obstacle, no matter the magnitude, can be overcome or circumvented through open conversation. You have our unconditional support.

  • Common ground

    Different perspectives are key to inclusive interventions but fundamentalism brings work to a standstill. Find common ground to get the job done

  • Open Communication

    We foster an environment for oneself, team members, seniors and stakeholders where ideas, challenges, feedback and expectations can be shared freely and respectfully Inter Dependence: We operate from a place of trust (not doubt) in each other.

We own up to our work, our achievements, our decisions and also to our mistakes. Sense of Possibility: We set bold, ambitious goals and expectations in order to meet our vision.
