Businessman Saul Berman turns his educational dream for SA children into brick-and-mortar reality

Successful businessman Saul Berman turns his educational dream for South African children into brick-and-mortar reality.
With a new year underway and schools about to re-open, the importance of education needs to be at the forefront of public consciousness.
Saul Berman is a man on a mission.
A man with a passion for education and helping children in South Africa achieve that aim, especially within the scope of Technical studies, an area in the curriculum largely ignored by mainstream schools.
In February 2025, ground will be broken at the second of his trailblazing school initiatives at Wittedrift High School in Plettenberg Bay, with building taking place in earnest throughout the year, planning for the Technical Engineering Faculty to be opened in November 2025, with learners enrolling from 2026.
This follows the successful pilot project having taken place at Wynberg Boys High School in Cape Town. Here, Saul Berman’s academic dream became a brick and mortar reality when in February 2020, the Technical Engineering Faculty opened its doors to students.
The Hands On Foundation Charitable Trust, in collaboration with Leap Science and Maths Schools, is currently building Technical Engineering faculties at Crossroads and Langa in Cape Town and will commence in Paarl in 2025, with a continued roll-out plan nationwide, thereafter.
