Meet Lapiyano. Lapiyano grew up in a rural community of Boitekong near Rustenburg and was raised by his mother, who taught him the value of hard work and education. As the first person in his family to attend university, he saw education as an opportunity to change his life and inspire others from similar backgrounds.

After matriculating in 2017 among the top three learners at his school, Lapiyano began studying Electrical and Information Engineering at University. When the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted his studies, he was forced to stop. During this time, he discovered software development and began teaching himself to code, sparking a passion that changed the direction of his career!

He later continued his studies, where he is completing a BSc in Information Technology, specialising in Computer Science and Informatics. In 2024, he also co-founded Nexified, a technology company focused on developing software solutions for small businesses.

Lapiyano’s journey is a reminder that setbacks do not have to define the future. With perseverance, support and opportunity, challenges can become stepping stones towards success.

“Preparation isn’t just about passing a test, it’s about stepping into your purpose with confidence.”

The journey to the final Grade 12 exams is about more than just textbooks; it takes emotional resilience, a positive mindset, and clear goals. As part of our Whole School Support Programme, our Grade 12 learners stepped into an empowering space designed to help them manage exam pressure, build self-belief, and map out their future.

From listening to powerful stories shared by Tholekele, a current Tomorrow Trust student, to designing their own vision boards. The Grade 12s reflected on where they are now and where they are heading.

The energy in the room transformed uncertainty into determination as our learners set their academic targets and post-school aspirations.
Thank you to Bertha from Dare to Rise for facilitating the information session for our students.

We believe inspiration starts with exposure.

As part of our Career Advancement Programme, our Grade 5 learners took a hands-on leap into the world of aviation with a visit to the SAA Aviation Museum.
From exploring real aircraft to connecting classroom subjects like Math and Science to real-world careers, these young scholars got a firsthand look at what it takes to break past limited expectations and reach new heights.

Ultimately, the visit aligns with Tomorrow Trust’s commitment to holistic learner development by providing experiences that extend beyond the classroom. Through intentional career enlightenment initiatives, the programme seeks to empower learners with the knowledge, confidence, and inspiration to make informed decisions about their future, while equipping them with the vision and motivation to become active contributors to society and the economy.

Meet Gugulethu. She completed her undergraduate studies and wanted to start working, however after spending two years unemployed , she made the decision to go back to university to pursue her Honour’s degree. In January 2026, she was selected by Tomorrow Trust for funding , receiving support with tuition, accommodation, books and devices.

Returning to university at the age of 30 has taught her that it is never to late to pursue one’s goals. Beyond financial assistance, Tomorrow Trust provided psychosocial support, real work exposure and masterclasses, that prepared her for the world of work. She also became a Peer Buddy Leader, an initiative at Tomorrow Trust that pairs senior students with first-year students to support their transition to university and help them navigate its academic and personal demands. In this role, she provided guidance and support to first-year students.

Now completing her Honour’s degree, Gugulethu hopes to graduate in 2027, pursue a Master’s degree and eventually a PhD. For Gugulethu, graduation will symbolise perseverance, faith, courage and determination to rebuild the future.

Her journey demonstrates the impact of Tomorrow Trust’s investment and belief in her potential. Her journey demonstrates that it is never too late to pursue one’s dreams.

WE BELIEVE THAT EVERY CHILD HAS THE RIGHT TO DREAM BIG!

Our Grade 6 learners recently explored the wonders of space at the WITS Anglo American Digital Dome for their Career Enlightenment Excursion. From planets to galaxies, they got a front row seat to the universe and started dreaming big about careers in science, tech, and engineering. We were also honoured to have volunteers from Mimecast join us as part of their volunteering programme. Thank you for inspiring our learners and showing them what’s possible.
