Bamba Learn is a digital platform for children aged 2-6, offering short, engaging lessons that improve foundational skills without overexposing children to screens. Recognised as a top EdTech innovation by the Mastercard Foundation, the platform supports teachers by providing data-driven insights to tailor instruction and enhance learning outcomes. The integration of technology complements hands-on learning rather than replacing it. By balancing digital tools with traditional activities, platforms like Bamba Learn help children absorb key concepts while enabling educators to focus on interactive teaching. Partnerships, such as those with Afrika Tikkun Bambanani, aim to expand the programme to reach 300 ECD centres, impacting 30,000 children and training 1,800 teachers annually.

Find Your Purpose Through Helping and Inspiring Others Marc Lubner is leaving a legacy for vulnerable children in South Africa through his organizations Afrika Tikkun and SMILE foundation. The organization starts working with children at a very young age to develop them into empowered citizens that chase their career passions. Lubner also worked with Nelson Mandela to found South Africa's chapter of the SMILE foundation - a charity that provides surgeries for children born with facial deformities. When approached by his father to take over as CEO for Afrika Tikkun, he found a way to operate the two missions side by side. *My key takeaways* I first met Marc just over a year ago and through our first conversation, we discovered that our grandfathers had worked very closely together. This common ground between us created an emotional connection and a strong interest in supporting each other going forward. The reason I mention this is because I wholeheartedly believe, as Marc does, that it is imperative to put building your relationships before your cause, as these will be the success of the impact you will create. This may seem like an obvious point but when we're trying to get the support of a high Net-worth donor or communicate with the source of a cause, it's so easy to get wrapped up in the vision, that we forget what a deal-breaker a personal experience and relationship is. Marc's charity focused achievements have been developed in this way. He has had some great teachers, his grandfather, his dad, and a close working and personal relationship with Nelson Mandela. He said that whether you were to spend 2 minutes or 2 hours, Mandela would connect to you, you were his only focus at that time. Something else Mandela taught him was to dream about what things would be like if the problem didn't exist and to become very familiar with this, then to work backwards. I loved this idea as it creates a solution focus on the most powerful place we need it - our hearts! There are many practical and passion-driven tools to advise through my time with Marc. He has supported change for tens of thousands of people, not to mention the families and communities that too have benefited. He talks about ego, being kind, responsibility, purpose and humility with much clarity. I invite you to enjoy this humbling interview as much as I did. *Let's Stay Connected* Speak with Craig about Magnifying Your Impact https://www.craiggoldblatt.com/work-with-me/ https://go.craiggoldblatt.com/attract-ideal-donors YouTube: www.craiggoldblatt.com/Magnify_Your_Impact_TV *Connect with Marc* Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AfrikaTikkunNPC/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AfrikaTikkun LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/afrikatikkun/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/afrikatikkun/
In this time where people are losing jobs, unable to work, the reality is that many South Africans are going to bed hungry.

In today's show we look at the importance of youth empowerment in Africa. An alarmingly large number of young Africans are dis-empowered and unemployed. We usually look to governments to solve the problem but what can we do to economically empower the youth of the continent, especially since we are the youngest continent on the planet. This is discussed with Ntsiki Khunju and Makhoape Letsie from Afrika Tikkun. We then have a look at organizations that are available for youth to receive mentorship and training as well as get skills to develop them as entrepreneurs. A more interview with Ntsiki and Makhoape helps us understand more about Afrika Tikkun and the work that they do in youth development from cradle to career.Finally the rumor doing the rounds in the 21st century is that we are all being replaced by machines and will end up all jobless but have we taken the time to look at jobs that are actually being created because of technology? We take a look at the jobs that didn't even exist 10 years ago and how young people can capitalize on this.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ijere-africa/support
On Friday, 20 July 2018 Afrika Tikkun hosted its first Information Communication Technology (ICT) Academy launch in partnership with Think Tank under the theme ‘let's tackle the ICT skills shortage'. The ICT Academy launch was intended to be a dialogue between delegates from the IT/ ICT, financial services, and network engineering sectors. Women are currently less likely than men to use our own digital technologies, with gaps larger among youth and those over 45 years old. ICT improves efficiency, enhances coordination and improves the quality of information gathered and shared for development planning.--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
