Building a Digital Future at Strand Secondary School🏫

A successful concept session with the staff of Strand Secondary School, introducing MiDO Foundation’s vision and the purpose of the Digital Hub Programme.

From exploring the journey of established hubs to discussing implementation, next steps and the road to the official launch, the session marked an exciting step forward.

A special highlight was discovering that two teachers had previously participated in a Google Digital Skills Training programme hosted by MiDO Foundation at Somerset College in 2018 - a powerful reminder of MiDO Foundation’s long-standing commitment to digital skills development in schools.

The journey continues. The future is digital.

🚨 SOMETHING BIG IS HAPPENING:

10 YEARS. 10 HUBS. ONE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY.

For the past decade MiDO has been committed to creating access to technology education and opportunities that open doors and shape futures.
From our very first hub to our 10th hub in our 10th year we have seen the power of a connected space.

A space where learners discover new possibilities. Where digital skills become confidence. Where opportunity becomes something within reach.

And now our journey continues in Strand. ✨🎉

Our 10th hub is more than a milestone. It is a reflection of how far we have come and a reminder of what is still possible.

10 years of impact.
10 hubs.

One vision for a more digitally empowered future.

And this is only the beginning. Stay tuned for our next update as we share more about the Strand Hub and what this new chapter means for our community. 👀✨

A journey like this would not be possible without the support of the partners who have believed in our vision, invested in our communities and helped us create opportunities that make a difference. To every partner who has been part of the MiDO journey, thank you for helping us reach this milestone.

Here’s to the next chapter of MiDO. 🚀

First time behind a camera for some, first taste of what a career in creative media could look like.

During the June/July holidays, MiDO Foundation and EM Studio Photography ran a Photography Practical Workshop for Grade 8 learners across Stellenbosch, Somerset and Franschhoek.

Watching their confidence grow through the photowalks and hands-on sessions was the whole point.
As one learner put it, “It isn’t about having the most expensive equipment, but knowing how to use it.”

Congratulations to the educators from Raithby Primary School, Ikaya Primary School, and Klapmuts Hill Primary School on completing their training programmes and receiving their certificates. This achievement reflects real dedication to growing as teachers and as leaders in their classrooms.

Made possible through the Remgro Schools Project, this training has given these educators stronger digital skills and new tools to bring engaging, technology-enabled learning into their classrooms. Their willingness to keep learning is opening doors for their learners and helping build a stronger culture of innovation across their schools.

To every educator who received a certificate, thank you for investing in your own growth. The impact of that commitment reaches far beyond the classroom, into the wider school community and the learners you serve every day.

We also want to thank the school leadership teams and partners who continue to drive digital transformation in education alongside us. This progress would not be possible without you.

MiDO Foundation is delighted to welcome Nathan S.T. Motjuwadi (MBA) as the new Chairperson of our Board.

Nathan brings more than three decades of experience in education, human capital, and organisational leadership. He started out as a teacher and that early grounding in education has shaped his career ever since. He went on to complete a Bachelor of Social Science at the University of Cape Town and an MBA at Milpark Business School.

Between 2010 and 2021, Nathan led as Executive HR at Capitec Bank and headed up the Capitec Foundation, contributing significantly to the bank's growth through strong people strategy. He joined the MiDO Foundation Board in 2021 and now takes on the Chairperson role, where he will help shape our strategic vision and reinforce sound governance across the organisation.

His commitment to education, opportunity and human development mirrors exactly what MiDO Foundation stands for. We're excited to have him at the helm as we continue building pathways for South Africa's youth.

Welcome to the role, Nathan. We look forward to all that lies ahead.

Celebrating 10 years of the MiDO Foundation continues with more special moments from our FSP and Luckhoff Hubs. 💙

We visited more of the hubs that have walked this journey with us and surprised the Principals and hub champions who champion opportunities for their learners every single day. Their leadership, dedication and belief in the power of education make the work we do possible.

This time we stopped by:

📍New Orleans Secondary School
📍Lückhoff High School
📍Franschhoek High School
📍Groendal Secondary School

Thank you for opening your schools, your hearts and your vision to the work of the MiDO Foundation. These partnerships continue to shape brighter futures for learners across our communities.

The school term has officially come to a close and what a journey of impact it has been. Our hubs were not just rooms full of technology, they were vibrant spaces of growth led by our 9 dedicated Hub Coordinators, consisting of 4 returning hub co’s and 5 new hub co’s.

This year marks a major milestone as we celebrate having employed 40 local youth as Hub Coordinators throughout the existence of our hubs. By intentionally hiring youth from the specific communities where our hubs operate, we ensure that our mentorship is relatable and deeply rooted in the local context.
How is this investment transforming our communities?

Direct Employment: We provide meaningful work opportunities for local youth in their respective areas, ensuring economic growth stays within the community.
Targeted Upskilling: Our coordinators receive specialized training that prepares them for future careers while they simultaneously upskill the learners in our hubs.
Relatable Mentorship: Because our coordinators come from the same communities as our learners, they serve as powerful examples of what is possible through digital literacy.

While we provide the hardware and software, our Executive Director, Daniel Solomons, highlights the most critical ingredient: the "Warmware." These are the talented individuals who show up every day to guide and inspire, turning a digital space into a community of opportunity.

We are so proud of the work done this term to build a digital future that belongs to everyone. It is clear that when we invest in local leadership, the entire community rises.

In 2016, Our CEO, Dale Simons had a vision of creating equipped,vibrant, digital spaces for young people to access and become Digital Citizens. From this vision developed our first Digital Hub at Stellenzicht Secondary in 2017. Over the years, the vision expanded as new hubs opened at High Schools across the region: Groendal and Franschhoek in 2018, Simanyene, Nomzamo, and Rusthof in 2019, Gordon in 2020, Luckhoff in 2021, and New Orleans in 2022.

Today we raise an Ebenezer and celebrate 10 years of impact and a vision that continues to grow. Through our Digital Hubs, 320 000 learners have gained more than digital skills; they have gained confidence, creativity, entrepreneurial know-how, and the courage to shape their own future. Educators at 40 schools in the Cape Winelands have been digitally trained and challenged to S.W.AG! We’ve partnered with teachers, supported schools, and witnessed the power of opportunity in action.

In 2026, our vision grows as we gear up to build our 10th hub in our 10th year at Strand Secondary! From one man’s vision to a growing network of opportunity continuing to open doors for learners to explore, create, and dream bigger than their circumstances. Thank you for partnering with us on this journey as we continue to change lives through technology!
