The SA Medical & Education Foundation (SAME Foundation) is a South African NGO dedicated to high-impact community development in healthcare and education. With a strong track record, the Foundation has completed over 150 projects in the past 21 years, positively impacting millions of South Africans.

Through partnerships with private companies and individuals, we achieve meaningful change in under-resourced communities. Our projects are made possible by the generous support of businesses and individuals who recognize the importance of investing in the health and educational foundations of South Africa.

Our mission is to improve healthcare and education in communities where there is no short- or medium-term government budget for these essential services. Without the intervention of SAME Foundation and our donors, these communities would lack access to the quality healthcare and education they deserve. We also support skills development by facilitating training for teachers and healthcare workers.

We believe that access to quality education and healthcare should not be limited by wealth. Our goal is to empower children in impoverished communities to reach their full potential and to create sustainable improvements that benefit all.
