Re:Storying Education, a core initiative of Love Our City, is our long-term commitment to renewing the story of education in South Africa by supporting the people who carry it.

We believe that teachers, students, families, and community partners who are connected, dignified, and resourced, shift the whole system. So we work alongside schools through three focus areas, Re:Story Legacy, Re:Story Futures, and Re:Story Together, to bridge divides and strengthen the relationships that learning depends on. What we're after is the restoration of hope and dignity.

ReStorying Education exists to bridge the divide in our nation by bringing deep-rooted change through connected communities that inspire hope and affirm dignity.

Love Our City works alongside schools and communities to strengthen leadership, support teachers, and remove barriers to learning. We do this through practical interventions, collaborative partnerships, and long-term presence that enable children, families, and educators to thrive.

How do we get there?

Equipping leaders to reimagine their schools and communities.
