IM is a group of local private citizens who believe mathematics is an enabler to a safe and prosperous community.
“We recognise that the availability of a strong maths intervention is limited in most communities, leaving our youth poorly equipped to either enter the world of work or go to a FET.
“Instead of bemoaning it, we banded together and registered an NPO in 2011 to supplement the mathematics of our country,” explained Ntsane Masiloane, the organisation’s founder.
