South African comedian Trevor Noah has launched his
own foundation ¡V The Trevor Noah Foundation ¡V in South
Africa, following in the footsteps of fellow South
African expat celebrity Charlize Theron. Trevor
launched the new foundation on Wednesday, 4 April 2018.
He was in South Africa ¡V from his home in New York ¡V for
a two-day special television event NationWild,
taping some of South Africa¡¦s funniest young comedians.
Trevor¡¦s new non-profit organisation aims to equip
orphans and vulnerable youth with the education, life
skills and social capital necessary to pursue further
opportunities upon graduating high school so that they
do not slip through the cracks. His goal is to provide
an environment where children have the best chance,
which in turn gives society the best chance.
Trevor said it¡¦s always more inspiring to help those who
are already pushing ¡K and that¡¦s what the foundation
will do. It will look for people who are already
pushing, to help get things jump-started so they can
continue on the journey to reach their dreams.
The foundation is investing in three priority areas:
psycho-social support, skills development, and career
guidance and will partner with government schools.
