Advocacy and awareness
National conversation, public education and dignity-led storytelling that moves neurodivergent children from the margins into the centre of education design.
Pholoso Afrika Foundation · 2to.iQ
Every mind learns differently.
Education should be built that way. Pholoso Afrika Foundation is creating a neuroinclusive education system around each learner’s strengths, passions and way of engaging.

One institution, three roles
A public-interest platform, not another awareness page.
PAF is the donor-facing foundation. Hlompho is the human programme layer. 2to.iQ is the technology vehicle. Together they form a credible path from story, to evidence, to system change.
For parents and families
Start with the Hlompho Principle: every learner’s passion can become a bridge into communication, confidence and learning.
Seeing every Hlompho means designing from the child outward.
The site keeps the emotional layer strong without becoming sentimental. Lived experience is treated as design intelligence: what helps a child participate, belong and learn?
1
Understand the learner
Begin with strengths, communication, sensory needs and interests rather than forcing standard templates.
2
Adapt the system
Make classrooms, tools and expectations flexible enough for different ways of thinking.
3
Connect the support
Bring families, teachers, therapists, researchers and partners into one operating ecosystem.
70%
Up to seven in ten school-aged children with disabilities in South Africa are out of school. Neurodivergent learners sit within this underserved group.
South African inclusive-education research; African Journal of Disability, 2024; Statistics South Africa.How we work
Three fronts, designed as one system.
The Foundation does not only raise awareness. It builds the infrastructure that turns awareness into practical support, measurable inclusion and policy relevance.
02
Educational innovation
Teacher training, passion-led curriculum practices, learner profiles and classroom tools that make inclusive learning usable in real schools.
03
Ecosystem building
Partnerships between schools, families, specialists, researchers, funders and technology builders so support does not sit in isolated silos.
Teacher developmentTraining, mentoring and inclusive practice.
Story hubConsent-first lived-experience insight.
Research notesEvidence for schools and partners.
Partner pilotsCorporate and institutional co-builds.
Policy voiceSystems change toward national influence.
Stories and lived experience
Publish only what is consented, reviewed and useful.
PAF treats lived experience as design intelligence, not as marketing material. Stories are gathered carefully, reviewed with contributors and turned into practical change requests for schools, partners and funders.
Stories become systems insight.
PAF will publish lived-experience stories only after contributor review, guardian consent where needed, and dignity checks. Each story points to something a school, funder, workplace or platform can actually change.
Review rightsGuardian consentDignity check
1
Consent first
Contributor keeps edit and withdrawal rights. Minors require guardian consent and protection from identifying detail unless explicitly approved.
2
No pity framing
Stories focus on participation, barriers, support and system design — not trauma extraction or inspiration-only content.
3
Actionable shift
Every story ends with a clear change request that can feed the Systems Change Map.
2to.iQ education
A neurodivergent-first platform that adapts to the child.
2to.iQ is the Foundation’s educational technology vehicle: offline-first, evidence-aware and designed for African realities. Product, data and investment language lives here — distinct from charitable giving.
Learner profile
A shared route for home, school and support teams.

Donors and partners
Partners do not simply give. They help redesign systems.
PAF can support Section 18A-aligned giving, B-BBEE Socio-Economic Development conversations, CSI and ESG partnerships, and school-based pilot infrastructure.
Fund training, education, care and counselling work within the approved PBO and Section 18A scope.
Create credible inclusion programmes with B-BBEE, CSI or ESG relevance, confirmed through your own verification process.
Co-design training, classroom adaptation, story-led insights and pilot implementation.
Credibility stack
Public-facing fundraising remains cleanly separated from 2to.iQ investment language. Governance, safeguarding, POPIA and tax documentation can be shared during partner due diligence and linked publicly as approved.
