The FirstRand Foundation, and the FNB Fund specifically have made a significant contribution to the education sector in South Africa to date.
This has predominantly been in the areas of Early Childhood Development, Hospice, and Tertiary Bursaries.
Increasing awareness as to the importance of interventions at Primary School level has led to the inception of a Primary Education Programme to roll out in 2013. Ten primary schools in each of two KwaZulu-Natal Education Districts, namely the Umlazi and uMgungundlovu districts, have been identified as partner schools in the programme and will benefit from interventions funded by the FirstRand Foundation over a period of three years.
