Foundation for Education
IN THE PICTURE: THE KUSASA PROJECT
In 2024, our largest contribution went to The Kusasa Project, an independent primary school in South Africa’s Western Cape. The school provides a critical educational foundation to underprivileged children of colour giving them the chance of a much brighter future. Every year, about 150 children become literate, compassionate, respectful, communicative, imaginative and multilingual students thanks to the school.
"At Lotus Bakeries, we are committed to supporting education as a fundamental right for every child. By supporting The Kusasa Project, we strive to make a substantial and lasting difference, both for the young people attending the school and their broader community."
- Jan Boone, CEO Lotus Bakeries
Kusasa gives me hope that there is a future for South Africa. Because this is where a good future for our country is established.
- Marie-Louise Raymond, School Director The Kusasa Project
It gives you a fantastic feeling to be assigned a sponsored child with whom you not only develop a bond, but whom you also support tangibly by making it possible for them to receive a high quality education.

Only those that are offered opportunities, can grab those opportunities.

The emancipation of women and their social and economic emancipation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Benin depend on education. Leuven Coopération and its local partners organise literacy courses for women and girls in these countries.
