SACS Ithuba Trust

‘Ithuba’ is the isiXhosa word for Opportunity and the SACS Ithuba Trust has been established as a vehicle to raise money to provide deserving young men an opportunity to attend SACS who would not otherwise have been able to do so. Its sole purpose is to provide bursaries and financial assistance to boys without the financial means to do so, thereby enhancing and upholding the dignity of pupils enrolled at SACS whose families find themselves in marginalised or financially disadvantaged positions. The Trust is governed by a group of independent trustees and the administration is currently well managed by Sentinel International Trust. There are currently 22 boys being supported under the umbrella of the Ithuba Trust and we are actively trying to grow this. The Ithuba Trust assists boys of all ages attending SACS. The selection process is driven by the SACS Junior and High schools. It is the intention of the trustees to build an endowment that can provide support to SACS students on a perpetual basis, without denuding the capital base of the trust. In order to make a meaningful difference, we would like to raise and maintain a fund of US$500,000. For more information contact Kate Maurel on maurelk@sacollege.org.za
