Become a partner for a more beautiful world

We do not receive government subsidies for the work you do. This means that we are dependent on donations and gifts and can only continue to do our work thanks to donors, sponsors and companies. We strongly believe in partnerships and cooperation, which is why we like to join forces with you.

Show your social commitment as a corporate partner

If your company or organization considers corporate social responsibility to be of paramount importance, then a collaboration with BOOST The World foundation offers excellent opportunities to propagate this. We are always looking for sustainable, structural partnerships with partners so that we can make the greatest impact together. Together we make the difference. In addition, your gifts are tax deductible, provided they meet a number of conditions.

Sponsor 10 kids for 1 year

For €1000 a year you can sponsor meals and a food program for 10 kids. That includes monitoring of their health to measure the impact of your donation. This monitoring is of course shared with you.

Frequently asked questions

How did BOOST The World get started?

BOOST The World was founded in 2018. It started with a simple idea: children learn best when their basic needs, like clean water, healthy food and a safe place to learn, are already met. Since then, we’ve built a learning community in Hoedspruit, South Africa, focused on practical education, health and self-reliance.

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.
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.

Right now, we’re focused entirely on South Africa. We’d rather build one strong foundation well than spread ourselves across many places at once.

We love working with companies! We collaborate with Dutch and South African businesses and social organizations to raise awareness and funds for our projects in South Africa. For example, Dutch companies assist in project development, and through gyms, we organize sport challenges and events—like sponsored runs and running clubs—to raise significant amounts.

Our direct project work is currently focused on South Africa. If that changes, we’ll share it here, but for now, that’s where all our energy and resources go.
