Legacy was a continuous, duplicatable, systematic and generational change tool created and led by We Believe in Africa to improve the quality of education in South Africa. Our vision was to allow all children access to First Class Education in South Africa. We had an 8-year timeline from 2012 to 2022 to make this a reality. The program ran from 25 July 2011 to 31 May 2015.

Legacy Key points
• We Believe Africa invited all previous students, parents and citizens of South Africa and from around the world to invest a minimum of R20 per month into a school in South Africa with Legacy.
• The investments went into the development of the school via School Governing Body’s (SGB) decision and choices.

The SGB would decide what are critical needs of the school, divided into 3 areas:
o School Infrastructure Upgrades,
o Staff Development or
o Student Development.

• Legacy was run free of charge at each school we worked with.
• Legacy first and fundamentally supported only business and service providers (With are in the GDE {Gauteng Department of Education}
network) within a 10 kilometer radius of each school or current parents of students at the school’s businesses.
• The school and their SGBs did not receive any funds directly, We Believe in Africa distributed the school’s funds on the school behave.
• R5 rand of every investment goes to the banking charges and leadership fees of We Believe in Africa.
(R2.10 per collection debt charge by South African banks)
• The funding options available were done via debt orders, EFT’s and a secure cash drop box at each school.
• We Believe in Africa is registered as a Not For Profit Organisation and is currently being registered as a Public Benefit Organisation.

• We Believe in Africa’s vision was to allow every child in South Africa to have access to first-class education by 2020.
• We Believe in Africa’s vision was to develop a monthly income of R100 000 per month for every school in South Africa, enabling each school to be on its path to being First Class.
