An increase in quality tertiary education will contribute towards job creation, economic development and ultimately, the development of a sustainable, compassionate, equitable and environmentally sustainable world

In 2021, Regenesys Foundation launched EdForAll (Education for All), a groundbreaking online learning initiative whose aim is to give financially disadvantaged but deserving students across the world access to quality higher education for a nominal monthly commitment fee of as little as R500* (₹12,900, ₦15,000 or US$35) per month, interest-free, for the duration of their study programme.This revolutionary initiative will enable anyone anywhere in the world the opportunity to obtain accredited, internationally recognised qualifications - all without the added financial burden towards obtaining the qualification.
