EwB was founded in 2002 by Cecil and Ruth Hershler, two ex-South Africans living in Vancouver, who have continued to be at its helm since its inception. Initial funds raised in Vancouver enabled new classrooms and a science laboratory to be built at Fezeka High School in Gugulethu. This was just the beginning.
Now, EwB invests in and nurtures hope in the next generation of young South Africans by providing life-changing educational programmes for learners from under-resourced and socially disadvantaged communities.
