Net Prophet 2.0 saw the introduction of a new concept dubbed the ‘Crowd Sourced Bursary‘. The idea was use to Net Prophet as an opportunity to raise money towards a full bursary for tertiary learners from disadvantaged backgrounds, who show a high propensity to innovate and succeed in the technology arena.

These Numbers Have Faces have kindly offered to help us with the application and selection process, identifying the best educational institution and coaching the individuals personally and professionally. They will also provide us with feedback so that all the donors can follow the progress of student(s) who get funded. TNHF are already doing some fantastic work in our local communities to help empower the youth through education and mentoring programs, and are the perfect partner to ensure the money is well spent.

To date we have raised R45 000+ (through some extremely generous offers), but are still approx. R15k short of covering a full bursary, which sees the learner with a full qualification and mentoring. Please help us get there by pledging through our website.

If you have already pledged, and are looking to pay – our banking details can be found here.
