About Purpose
“God has allowed suffering — even purposed it.”
That belief is central to the work of Purpose Foundation, the operating name of God’s Purpose Organisation. We are a registered South African non-profit organisation and Education & Training Centre for Excellence focused on risk-related academic disciplines like Disaster Management, Climate Change, and Community Development.
We work with university students across these fields, offering them a structured platform to implement real-world community interventions. From disaster preparedness and risk reduction to climate awareness and life-skills mentoring, these students gain experience that sharpens their academic learning while serving South Africa’s most vulnerable communities.:

Our work includes:
- Risk-Focused Projects where university students lead resilience-building campaigns, disaster preparedness efforts, and response simulations.
- Corner Library Programs to strengthen school-level learning environments.
- Leadership Camps that grow confidence, life skills, and faith.
- Career Support that helps learners make meaningful, informed life choices.
We are inspired by aspirational institutions like the Disaster Management Institute of Southern Africa (DMISA), and grounded in local needs. Our network includes respected affiliations and partnerships in risk education, disaster relief, and academic excellence.
We believe every act of preparation, mentorship, and education makes South Africa more resilient — one student and one community at a time.
