South Africa is trapped by extreme inequalities of wealth, health and social status, and many people feel despair. Our aim is to change the prospects of children and young people, putting them on a fundamentally different trajectory from that of their parents and grandparents. Trying to change life trajectories is ambitious and profound. It requires us to radically influence the lives of individuals and to be part of changing the circumstances in which they live.

As a public innovator, DGMT sees its role as a synergist of information – twisting technology together with changes in human behaviour (including the way in which we engage with nature). DGMT frames its ultimate goals as:

• An innovative and inclusive society
• All children on track by Grade 4
• All young people on pathways to productivity

We seek team members who share our clarity of purpose and vision for our country. We employ people from diverse backgrounds and industries to solve important problems. We support an inclusive culture by acknowledging the unique experiences and perspectives each individual brings to the table.
