Description of Services:
Through higher education, community service, mentoring, financial literacy, and financial reinvestment, we empower young people to reduce poverty in their own communities.

A college education in South Africa means empowerment, opportunity, and academic equality for black township youth.

We see opportunities for higher education as a key way to transform South Africa and confront the devastating effects of generational poverty.

Our current TNHF students are the first in their families to attend college and represent a new generation of black South Africans reversing the inequalities of the apartheid era.

The Idea:

These Numbers Have Faces believes that relationships can change the world.

We care deeply about issues of poverty, disease, and conflict, but the driving force behind TNHF is the connection we have with our friends in South Africa.

Numbers, statistics, figures, and data are important ways to evaluate and measure complex issues like global poverty. But in terms of actually reducing it, we believe transforming statistics into human relationships to be one of the most effective and powerful steps forward. It is in these relationships where hope comes alive, where God is real, and where our lives find significance greater than ourselves.

No matter what the news media tell us, our dear friends in South Africa are not numbers. They are not color coded charts, pie graphs, or economic statistics. These Numbers Have Faces.
