THE VICTOR DAITZ FOUNDATION

Founded in 1984, The Victor Daitz Foundation carries out the humanitarian vision of South African philanthropist Victor Daitz, whose wish was to give back to the community the major portion of the wealth he had accumulated in his lifetime. As noted on the foundation’s website, its vision includes a special focus on “the needs of the historically deprived, disadvantaged groups of our society, particularly for education.” The Umkhumbane Schools Project has been the recipient of two major grants from the Daitz Foundation, in support of our maths, science, and university access initiatives.
