Fundraising

At the intersection of purpose, passion and people, you will find our Solar Backpack Initiative.

In South Africa, many school children do not have access to electricity, and this interrupts their academic performance. Some children in rural areas have never even owned a school bag. We have partnered with Chedza to address these issues problems with their innovative Solar Backpacks.

Through the Pro-Am event, we’ve raised over R296,000 to date, enabling us to donate 250 solar backpacks to Thembalethu High School in George. This effort supports NTT DATA’s global goal of providing digital access and education opportunities to 5 million underserved young people by 2030.

The solar backpack is equipped with a solar panel that absorbs and stores sunlight during the day. It has an LED light that can last up to 7 hours, and a USB charging port for smartphones and tablets. Made from waterproof canvas material guaranteed to last up to 5 years, this backpack is helping to power the future of education.
