The Global Teachers Institute (GTI) is excited to celebrate its 5th Year Anniversary and invites you to join our annual fundraising campaign to help Fund The Future, our aspiring teachers. With your help, we will continue to  provide wrap-around support to enable the Future Leaders to grow and develop into future-proofed teachers, ready for the demands of the classroom and broader school environment and, in turn, future-proof our learners.

Ed. student), Ethan Shyuvan Festers (2nd year student) and Yolanda Nyume (final year student). These aspiring teachers reported that they are all growing in confidence as teachers and making significant progress in developing a wide array of teaching skills, including time management, differentiation and using technology in the classroom. The social responsibility project that they are involved in is collecting and distributing sanitary towels for female learners in need. The project also imparts knowledge about menstrual hygiene as well as to create a safe space for learners to ask questions and share their concerns and challenges in this regard.

Johan Mabhuti Nsimbini, a 3rd year student and Ntombizodwa Mangane, a 2nd year student in Mpumalanga, deep in discussion during a Friday Professional Development Workshop. Johan is an exceptional young man who used to work in a retail store. Now his life is embedded in the school where he truly belongs. Ntombizodwa has a social responsibility project that grows vegetables in a garden and has created jobs for 3 unemployed youth. She has also raised funds to buy sanitary pads for young girls so that they can always attend school and she has started her own foundation called the “Shelter Me Foundation”.

Our mission is to develop empathetic, reflective, and socially responsible master teachers for South Africa’s public schools in rural and township communities like the ones described above.
