Who we are
Faculty of Best Advisory (FBA) is a registered non-profit company (NPC 2016/255757/08) and public benefit organisation (PBO 930058745). We inform, empower and uplift people by making sure communities have access to valuable information, especially about education and careers.
We started in 2012 as five student volunteers. Today more than 1 000 beneficiaries and volunteers carry the work into schools, churches and communities in all nine provinces.
Our programmes support South Africa’s National Development Plan, which recognises that young people deserve better educational and economic opportunities, and Sustainable Development Goal 4: to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Vision 2032
Our vision has two parts. The first is to lead people towards total emancipation in our lifetime and beyond. The second is measurable: to impact 10 million people and raise R10 million by 2032.
