The Wiltons Foundation was born out of our ongoing work with Masakhane Combined School, in rural Mpumalanga. The more we worked with the school, the more it opened up the possibility of reaching further into the community. We found that we could contribute to systemic change by collaborating to enhance learning environments and, by implication, contribute to personal and community transformation.
The foundation is principled by the simple equation that “2 + 4 = 1”. In alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we believe that zero hunger (goal 2) and quality education (goal 4) combined are the most sustainable means to achieving no poverty (goal 1) for families and communities. So our focus is on goals 2 and 4.
The Foundation sees its role as a catalyst, facilitator and connector of stakeholders by creating bridges to develop unique solutions that are initiated and owned by communities, for communities.
