The Target

Support adult training and kickstart careers in our natural environment.

Green Futures College is the foundation’s adult training programme, designed to give adults the skills necessary to work within the green economy and eco-tourism in the Cape Floristic Region.

Green Futures College offers accredited skills training in ecotourism, hospitality and indigenous horticulture alongside work readiness curricula, first aid certification, chainsaw accreditation and computer end-user skills. 

60% of under 25 year olds, and 40% of under 35 year olds in South Africa are unemployed, but your donation will directly affect the prospects of employment for youth in the Overstrand.
