The How

Over the past couple of years we have developed a curriculum which has been tried and tested. The results have been exceptional and we are ready now to multiply this formula exponentially. This can and will only happen when we come together and stand united in our quest to reach millions of young people. Our desire is that these young people will in turn become “transformers” themselves whereby they take responsibility; not only for their own lives, but that they will heed the call to be the next generation of leaders.

How does one seriously impact the lives of millions of young people? By impact, we mean how do we actually make a difference in the lives of these young people? Many are without hope, without role models and many don’t even have parents. The challenges are huge. Our strategy however is clear and concise:

Influencing learners
Influencing learners in schools/universities with life to life communication, knowledge, experiential learning, personal mastery, transformational leadership, coaching and mentorship.
Supporting leaders
Supporting leaders in education with leadership development that shifts schools to new levels of learning.
Distinct strategies
Our focus is on holistic development which includes various initiatives that include four distinct strategies all working towards one common goal: 1) Ethics and moral development 2) Music, dance and drama 3) Governance awareness 4) Career choices.
Unlock resources
Unlock resources from the public and private sector and apply them strategically to the complex processes involved in developing transformational leadership.
Partner
Partner with organisations globally who are committed to achieve the same purpose.

Funds raised
To ensure that ninety-five per cent or more of the funds raised go directly to the project.
Programmes & initiatives
To create programmes/initiatives that is highly effective.
Strategically influence
To strategically influence as many people as possible to take up the cause. This will be done via social media and various other initiatives.
Collaborative platform
To provide a non-threatening and collaborative platform that will attract as many partners as possible; who all strive towards one common goal.
Honour and respect
To always honour and respect the beliefs and cultures of others.

Brand Ambassadors

“Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world”

Nelson Mandela

1 Million Strong, along with our partners are currently actively engaged with many schools throughout South Africa, Africa, and South America with a number of other initiatives in various parts of the world coming on board. Although we are excited with what we are experiencing, we need to reach many more millions of young people if we are going to make an impact or make a difference.

The 1 Million Strong initiative has a vision to develop one million young global leaders all over the world. This is a huge challenge but we believe with God’s help, the power of collective will and synergy this goal is achievable. We are often asked; “How can I help?” The bottom line is that not everyone has the time to actively get involved as they may just be too busy or logistically it may be a problem – and that’s fine. We however feel there are hundreds, if not thousands of people, who could partner with us in any way they see fit. These “partnerships” however become significant when compounded. We are all aware of the miracle of compounded interest when we invest or save. Our goal is to raise 1 Million young leaders throughout the world who would be committed to making a difference in their communities. We would like to invite as many people as possible to become “brand ambassadors” so that you can fly the flag with us. Wear the T Shirt, wear the cap, speak about it, we need all the help we can get.
