Why This Trip Mattered
Quality education in South Africa is often reserved for those who can afford it. The majority of learners face overcrowded classrooms, too few textbooks, no technology, and teachers who are left without support.
And yet, these teachers show up every day, doing everything they can with the little they have. Parents want to support their children but often don't know how. Learners — who are the future of this country — are full of potential, but too often, they don't get the chance to reach it.
That's why this trip was so important. We listened. We learned. We connected. And now the solutions we build with Luma are shaped by real people's needs.
