These Numbers Have Faces, is a partnership between American micro-investors and students in South Africa. Essentially, anybody willing to invest in a student can provide a college scholarship for about $23 a month. Incredible.

What I love about TNHF is they see a sad story in the world and rather than shaking their heads and declaring that life is bad simply decide to tell a better one."

These Numbers Have Faces has not only become partners with programmes in my community in South Africa, they have became true friends by investing in the individual, culture and education.

Our friends at TNHF will never give up on people across boundaries. They are AMAZING!"

Young people don't need hand-outs, they need opportunities. That is exactly what These Numbers Have Faces is providing and in doing so it allows these youth to build dignity and empowerment.

Now that is a cause I can truly get behind."

These Numbers Have Faces is doing excellent work to empower and support young leaders in South Africa.

Their commitment to educational equality and their ability to transform statistics into living breathing human beings is invaluable to the greater movement to fight extreme poverty.”

Access to higher education is one of the most empowering gifts that anyone can receive. Yet there are still great inequities in who is allowed this gift.

TNHF inspires us by allowing us access to newfound students and watching what wonderful things unfold."

In a world where statistics overwhelm us and the vulnerable still suffer - TNHF has stepped in.

Their passionate team reminds us all that every human is unique and valuable. Individuals matter. It's been a privilege to watch this vision unfold."

These Numbers Have Faces is my favourite charity. Indeed it is not so much a charity as a love your neighbour alternative way to live.

These guys connect, engage and build friendships with the students they are raising money to help. The respect, dignity, and education this brings to township men and women will come to bloom in the shacks of South Africa."

The name of the organization says it all -- These Numbers Have Faces. The people being helped are not sad statistics or case studies or causes. They are real human beings pulsing with life, dreams, hopes, and stories.

To personally and directly support individuals who are changing their lives and will someday change their families and communities -- I can't think of a better way to change the world and love my neighbor.”

Too often mass media paints Africa and the rest of developing world as a place of little hope, constant conflict, and an insurmountable problem to solve. These Numbers Have Faces sings a different song.

TNHF works with real people with real passions who are striving for a better world. TNHF brings a slice of that world to your doorstep and invites you to enter in.”

Imagine a world where every statistic has a face. Organizations like TNHF, can make the faceless (oppressed, neglected, and abused) visable and the subjects of global care.

Not only should we support TNHF, we should help start more organizations like it. A network of these groups could encircle the world, and fill the gaps that governments and large NGOs cannot yet fill. "

These Numbers Have Faces embraces an organic and truly sustainable approach to confronting generational poverty – by empowering capable and energetic leaders to transform their communities from within.

I am continually impressed with the way the TNHF team is building bridges to span social, economic and racial gaps to equip local leaders with the tools to change their community."

While many people feel that the problems of the world are too huge for us to solve, These Numbers Have Faces has shown us that we are all capable of becoming positive agents for tremendous social change. May we all be inspired by their example!”

I'm a South African and These Numbers Have Faces is different from other charities. It’s specific. It’s moving. It has more than just motives, it has action. It has love painted across it, sacrificial and painful. It has hope and brings hope.

TNHF does more than just care - it acts in love. That much is clear. TNHF knows our love and our fight; and further still, they are loving and fighting with us. When I see what they are doing in my own country, it inspires me to do more."

The work of These Numbers Have Faces represents the spirit of South African reconciliation as the organization helps to empower township youth by supporting higher education.

In the new South Africa, the young people that TNHF work with still lack educational and occupational opportunities. The support of These Numbers Have Faces is making a difference in their lives and their country."
