About Us

Friends of Botriver e.V. is a non-profit-organisation dedicated to empowering and educating the youth of Botriver, South Africa.

Our Mission

At Friends of Botriver, our mission is to empower students through education and lead them on a path of growth and success.

We believe that every child deserves access to the tools they need to excel in their professional journey.

Our Values

  • We have a close personal connection to the Botriver community. Regular conversations and personal visits allow our connection to the people to grow every day. We know each other personally and not just from a distance.

  • Strength means believing in yourself and being able to handle different situations in life. Being strong is not easy! That is why it is important for us to inspire and encourage people on the ground. Every day, in every conversation - a little bit more!

  • We know the team on the ground and ensure maximum transparency. Regular on-site visits, virtual meetings and updates on our projects are therefore of particular importance. Your support goes where you want it to go - to local education!

  • What do our students need to know and be able to do in the future in order to successfully open their next chapter? We promote and demand future-oriented projects that prepare the participants for their future in the best possible way.

Vision 2030 - Be part of the change!
