'If we are to lift Africa from her current circumstances, we will need a generation of learners that are gifted with curiosity about the world in which they live, and the tools to understand and shape that world'


- Mark Shuttleworth

Welcome to the Shuttleworth Foundation. South African entrepreneur, Mark Shuttleworth, established the Shuttleworth Foundation in October 2000 with the belief that education is the key to unlocking the creative and intellectual potential of the South African youth, allowing them to live the dream that “anything is possible”. With a passion for social development and education, our main goal is to improve the quality of education in South Africa. We invest in projects which offer unique and innovative, albeit high-risk, solutions to educational challenges in an African society, focussing on the areas of Science, Technology, Entrepreneurship and Maths (STEM) in education and open source software.
