Why Corporates Can’t Afford to Ignore the Education Crisis
South Africa’s education system is in crisis. For decades, reports, commissions, and political promises have highlighted the cracks, yet the situation continues to worsen....
We’re Not Waiting for Change.
We’re Creating Change Today.
Join the education revolution that’s raising future teachers, restoring classrooms, and rebuilding communities—one learner at a time.
The Future Of Our Education Is In Trouble
More than 50% of South African high schools no longer offer Pure Mathematics.
~ Umalusi, 2022
This closes the door to STEM careers like engineering, aviation, and science for thousands of learners before they’ve even begun.
About Ma Se Kind
Transforming Education From the Ground Up.
Ma Se Kind is a bold South African movement reshaping education through the development of future educators. We provide bursaries, hands-on training, and placement for aspiring teachers in under-resourced schools, bringing urgent relief to overburdened classrooms and hope to the next generation of learners.
This is not charity.
This is nation-building.
Why We Exist
Education is in Crisis. But So Are Our Communities.
Class sizes are exploding. Teachers are overwhelmed. Core subjects like Pure Mathematics and Literacy are disappearing. And young people who want to become teachers simply can’t afford to study.
The result?
A generation of learners without guidance—and a workforce stripped of future skills.
Ma Se Kind steps into that gap by training and placing assistant teachers in schools where they’re needed most, while providing them with a path to qualification, mentorship, and purpose.

How We Work
A Simple Model. A Lasting Impact.
With overcrowded classrooms, lost subjects like Pure Maths, and a teacher shortage crisis, Ma Se Kind is placing assistant teachers where they’re needed most.
Train Future Teachers
We offer bursaries, skills development, and emotional support to promising young South Africans who want to become educators.
Place Assistant Teachers
While they study, our learners are placed in schools in need to gain real experience and support overloaded classrooms.
Rebuild Communities
Many of our student teachers can return to serve their own communities—restoring hope, structure, and academic outcomes from the inside out.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
