Local Community Partners
The power of access to digital education to transform the lives of young people in rural African communities
Good Work Foundation Justicia Digital Learning Centre (JDLC)
In addition to the SLT’s flagship community partnerships, we support key local partners including the Good Work Foundation (GWF), who provide access to online digital learning hubs in the rural villages, adjacent to Singita Sabi Sand.
SLT was a primary sponsor for the local GWF Campus - JDLC - outside Newington Gate - between 2018 and 2020, and now partners with this campus as part of a broader collaboration.
GWF’s innovative programmes include:
- An Open Learning Academy that supports English, Mathematics, and e-learning access from Grade 4 (aged 10) and up.
- A Bridging Academy that prepares high school graduates to step into the job market or further education. In addition to IT and communication training, student counsellors provide detailed career guidance.
- Further accredited training, aligned with local community needs, is available at the GWF’s Conservation, IT, and Travel and Tourism Academies.
Conservation Partner
Singita Lowveld Trust
Our biodiversity projects focus on maintaining healthy, well-functioning ecosystems and habitats in the reserves in which Singita operates. These ecosystems are vital for the protection of a diverse range of wildlife, including species of conservation concern, such as rhinos, leopards, lions, wild dogs and vultures.
As we strive for the restoration and regeneration of our rich wilderness landscape, we can’t do this without the support and in collaboration of our communities. Together we're committed to ensuring that people living alongside wilderness areas not only benefit from tourism and conservation jobs but also experience lasting socio-economic growth.
