— Our Impact
Numbers That Tell the Truth .
EIK has scaled faster than planned and delivered above targets on almost every metric. Here’s the evidence — transparently presented against our original five-year targets.
— STEM education — at the centre
Inkcubeko Centre Impact Metrics .
Data period: 2023–2025 (centre-based programmes)
7,000 individual children reached through centre-based programming.

Long-Term Outcomes
32 University Acceptances (traceable) — over 70% in STEM fields. Traceable beneficiaries admitted to STEM degree programmes at South African universities. Supported through EIK curriculum support, tutoring in Mathematics and Science, and computer access for university application submissions.
45 Alumni in Full-Time Employment — post-accreditation & internship. Alumni who entered full-time employment after ICDL accreditation, work readiness training and internship placements through partner organisations including Big Hearts Africa, South Cape TVET College, CPUT and the YES Programme.
Improved Matric Pass Rates
3 of 4 Focus High Schools showed improved matric Mathematics and Science pass rates in 2024 — directly attributable to increased EIK programme delivery at those schools.
