Ever met a person who’s going to change the world? We’ve met 71 693 of them.

At Sanlam we know every child has the power to change the world. We also know that the best way to build a better tomorrow is to start investing in today. That’s why we’ve launched the Sanlam Blue Ladder Schools project to help children learn what they can learn so that they can be what they want to be today and for generations to come. To date, our Blue Ladder Schools project has empowered 71 693 learners. The aim of the project is to partner with disadvantaged schools countrywide to improve maths competency via a holistic approach. We create supportive learning spaces and give learners a head start to a brighter future. As WealthsmithsTM, we understand that good numeracy is the best protection against unemployment and low wages. So we partner with respected non-profit organisations skilled at building maths proficiency in learners and growing levels of effective maths teaching in educators to ensure quality education. By bettering sanitation and infrastructure, we aim to increase attendance and nurture a sense of pride and dignity. A healthy diet helps with concentration, while playgrounds encourage the imaginative play so integral to fostering foundational skills. We also focus on developing leadership capacity to ensure the long-term success of the schools. If we invest in their education today, imagine what more every child in South Africa could achieve, for their futures, for South Africa and for generations to come.
