Frequently asked questions
How did BOOST The World get started?
BOOST The World was founded in 2019 by Rosanne van Zalingen, driven by a shared vision to make the world more sustainable, humane, and peaceful for future generations. The founder believes that education based on a holistic approach is the key to a prosperous future—for people, animals, and the planet.
BOOST The World’s mission is to inspire and educate young people so they can become leaders who act with compassion and awareness. The community behind BOOST The World focuses on creating positive change through education, collaboration, and sustainability.
How much of my donation actually goes to a project?
Over 90% of your donation directly supports our mission to help children in South Africa through food programs, access to clean water, and education. In doing so, we empower them to become the leaders of tomorrow. We also provide education to their communities. Only a small portion of donations is used to maintain our website. Transparency and impact are our top priorities. Feel free to ask us about it.
Can I visit the project areas?
Absolutely and we’d love that! We regularly organize both work visits and private trips for you, your family, colleagues, or business partners. During your visit, you’ll have the chance to contribute hands-on and experience the direct impact of our projects. Your trip supports the foundation and contributes to real change. We also offer opportunities to volunteer for longer periods on-site. Certain conditions and costs apply. Contact us for more information.
Does BOOST The World have projects outside of Africa?
Yes! First and foremost, we’re active in the Netherlands. We visit schools to talk about our mission and the project in South Africa. We also teach children that education is about more than just reading and math. Our presentations focus on personal leadership and are tailored to primary school levels. We expect to expand to Indonesia, India, and Pakistan soon. Ultimately, we aim to support children around the world in their personal development as future leaders. Your support is essential—thank you!

I see BOOST The World does a lot for children in South Africa. Do you also help children in need in the Netherlands?
Yes, we do. We visit schools in the Netherlands to share our mission and the South Africa project. We teach children that there’s more to learn than just reading and arithmetic—such as personal leadership, adapted to the level of primary school students. Ultimately, our goal is to support children worldwide in becoming future leaders. Your support is invaluable—thank you!
Is my donation with BOOST The World tax-deductable?
Yes, your donation is tax-deductable, because our foundation BOOST The World is registered as an ANBI (Public Benefit Organisation).
