We believe in
what's possible.
Everyone deserves the chance to discover their strengths, learn something meaningful and build a more independent future.
Learning that leads somewhere.
I Deserve It is a Cape Town nonprofit skills development organisation founded in 2010. We help people develop practical skills, build confidence and explore opportunities for self-employment and enterprise.
Our work goes beyond techniques and textbooks. We care about the person learning, the ideas taking shape, and what might become possible beyond the classroom.
