About
LEVA FOUNDATION
We help people enter the economy — and stay there.
LEVA Foundation is a South African organisation that helps people build skills, find work and earn an income. We don’t just help people get started; we make sure they can keep going.
Accolades
LEVA and its programmes have been recognised for innovation in education, skills development and social impact.
Why we exist
Too many people are expected to find work or earn a living without ever being shown how to do it.
They leave school without clear direction. They try to find work without understanding what’s expected. They have potential but no clear path forward.
LEVA exists to change that.
What we do
We design practical programmes that help people move from learning into earning.
Across our work, people build real, usable skills, gain confidence, take steps into work or income, and grow over time.
Our programmes work in real schools, workplaces and communities where conditions are not always ideal.
