The Million Lives Club (MLC), a global initiative consisting of innovators and social entrepreneurs who are making a significant impact in addressing global development challenges, recently announced Symphonia for South Africa’s flagship programme, Partners for Possibility (PfP) as an official member of its Vanguard cohort. Members of this cohort have successfully scaled their solutions to serve over 1 million people.
PfP Founder and CEO of Symphonia for South Africa Louise van Rhyn, said: ‘’We are humbled by this validation of the PfP programme that continues to have a transformative impact on the lives of our participants and their respective communities. We are eager to leverage the benefits of greater visibility, shared learning and the funding opportunities that come with being a Vanguard member, but also understand that a recognition of this nature and its associated benefits comes with even greater responsibility.’’
PfP partners business leaders with principals from under-resourced schools in a year-long, collaborative and practical journey. Since 2011, the programme has impacted education outcomes in over 1000 schools across every province of South Africa by strengthening the leadership of school principals whose influence on the quality of teaching and learning in the school is crucial. To date, this process has transformed the lives of over 1 million learners.
