Our EduCare learners are sharing a special Mother’s Day message for the incredible moms and caregivers who fill their lives with love, comfort, and joy every day. And to every donor helping create brighter futures for these little ones, thank you for being part of their story. Happy Mother’s Day !

Our Young Scientists are ready to shine once again! After winning silver medals and achieving success at previous Eskom Expo for Young Scientists events, our learners are preparing for this year’s District Expo on 9 May. This year marks a proud milestone as 17 high school learners will join the journey for the very first time alongside our primary school students. If you would like to support transport and catering costs for our learners attending the Expo, please consider donating using the link in our bio. Wishing all our future scientists the very best of luck!

We’re proud to share a meaningful step forward in dignity, access, and opportunity. Masicorp has partnered with the @menstruationfoundationza to install sanitary towel dispensing machines at the Chasmay Campus and Ukhanyo Primary School. These machines provide monthly packs of sanitary products through a simple token system, ensuring access is consistent and private. At the Chasmay Campus, which is home to 12 community programmes and nonprofit organisations serving children and adults from Ocean View and Masiphumelele, tenant partners will work alongside Masicorp to distribute tokens to registered beneficiaries. At Ukhanyo Primary, learners will access tokens through Masicorp’s Learning Labs, making it easier for young girls to manage their health with dignity while staying focused on their education. This programme is about more than just products. It’s about removing barriers. No one should have to miss school, work, or opportunity because they lack access to basic sanitary care. Thanks to the incredible support of Streatham & Clapham High School in the UK, who have funded these distributions over the past few years, we’ve now been able to take this next step, introducing a system that prioritises privacy, dignity, and ease of access. #Masicorp #DignityForAll #MenstrualHealth

In Masiphumelele, many children grow up without access to quality early learning. And yet this is where everything begins. *This September, you can change that* @masicorp and @ibhongo are looking for people to run the @tilburgtenmiles (Netherlands) in support of early childhood education. Not just for the challenge. But for a child’s future. We’ll cover your race entry.

My favourite book is…” 💛 Today we celebrate the stories that inspire, comfort, and grow young minds. These voices from Ukhanyo Primary School remind us why access to books matters. Happy World Book Day #WorldBookDay #LoveReading #Masicorp #LiteracyMatters #educationforall

The Legacy of John More Thompson: Co-Founder of Masicorp Some people build careers. Others build communities. John Thompson did both. And the lives he changed through Masicorp form a significant part of his remarkable legacy. John died on March 30, 2026, after a long illness. While his loss is deeply felt, the impact of what he created continues every day in Masiphumelele through Masicorp, the organization he and his wife, Carol, co-founded in 1999. What started as a small volunteer-driven initiative has grown into an organization that serves thousands of residents each year. In the beginning Masicorp built over 20 houses and a large library and sent children and young adults to better schools and university programs. Today, through early childhood development in our three preschools and affiliated programs, primary education enhancements in math, literacy and science, teacher training, computer skills development and numerous other programs, Masicorp has become a major platform for people to shape their own futures. John was not a passive founder. He was deeply involved and constantly thinking about how to do more. He brought people together across countries and backgrounds building a community of supporters who shared his vision. In recognition of his extraordinary contribution, John was honored in 2024 as a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) for service to a community in the Commonwealth with long-term impact. John’s legacy lives in every student supported and every opportunity created. At Masicorp we see that legacy every day. John will be remembered as visionary and his remarkable work continues through all of us. He will be deeply missed.

Een 2e intense week van ons werkbezoek. Intens vanwege de enorme hitte hier afgelopen week. Intens vanwege de vele activiteiten, dus een druk bezette agenda. Intens ook vanwege de ervaringen en de reflectie die dat bij onszelf teweeg brengt. 52 kinderen kregen een mooie trui en die waren er intens blij mee. En de blijdschap van moeders en kinderen van het Home to Grow om ons weer te zien voelt ook intens. Wilde Ganzen MASICORP Masi CreativeHub St Francis Outreach Trust

What a wonderful day of stories and smiles! 📚✨ Thank you to the @booksonthebay Word Voyage team for visiting our English Hub at Ukhanyo Primary School and sharing the joy of reading with our learners... and for bringing Petra the Penguin 🐧 along too! We’re grateful to all the partners and volunteers who made this possible.

A heartfelt thank you to @chaelicampaign for hosting such a meaningful ECD Inclusion Workshop on Saturday. 💜 14 members of the Masicorp ECD team attended. One of the most powerful moments was hearing from a mother of a child with autism who shared her personal journey navigating schools and support systems. Her story really opened our eyes to how challenging this path can be for many families. We are deeply grateful for the ongoing partnership with The Chaeli Campaign. Their occupational therapist, Rosemary, visits our ECD centres each term to guide our teachers on how to support children with additional needs. She also helps connect families with hospitals and therapists, assists parents in securing medical appointments, and supports them in finding schools that best meet their children’s needs. This kind of support is truly invaluable in a community where these services are often difficult to access or afford. Together we are helping ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn, grow and belong. 💜 Thank you for walking this journey with us. #Masicorp #ChaeliCampaign #InclusiveEducation #EarlyChildhoodDevelopment #InclusionMatters #EducationForAll #CommunityPartnership #SupportingFamilies
