Trevor Noah set to raise money to support education in SA

Trevor Noah has, through the Trevor Noah Foundation, launched a fund-raising mission to help school children and teachers in South Africa.

The crowd-funding effort is in line with Trevor and the foundation’s wish to improve the state of the education system in Mzansi.

And what’s more, Trevor has vowed to match however much money the campaign is able to raise, up to R2million.

This means that if the campaign is able to raise at least R2million, then a guaranteed R4million investment will be made into education in South Africa by the Trevor Noah Foundation, which launched in 2017.

The foundation is running the campaign through the BackaBuddy website, a popular crowd-funding site.

“Our end goal is to get as many children who do not have access to education, educated. We want to get teachers the support they need, because teachers are underpaid and we want to make sure that the people who educated those children actually have food and ways to sustain themselves,” said Trevor, who is the chairman of the Trevor Noah Foundation.
