Moreover, according to (stats SA) or Statistic South Africa there is a strong link between increased level of education and decreased levels of poverty. Our focus upon all this is to improve childhood, youth and elderly literacy. This will be enforced through the following programs in primary schools and high schools;
o Reading competition as known as reading playoffs,
o Highest performing students’ awards. o Provide tuition funds foe university students. o Adult Learning Program (ALP). Social injustice

Social injustice is a relatively concept about the unfairness or injustice of a societal groups in their divisions of rewards and burdens and other incidental inequities based on the user’s worldview of humanity. Working hand in hand with Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Community Based Organisations (CBOs) we address and redress these social inequities in the South African communities. Many remote communities experience the greatest injustice, having being isolated; the government finds it difficult to recognise such communities. Our duty thereof is to ensure that such communities are taken in to cognizance and are recognised by the government. Poverty. Poverty tragedy is the most sensitive situation. Poverty has stricken lot people; some of them sleep in the streets and under bridges. However, the wellspring foundation’s main focus is on the following groups victimized by poverty; the orphans, elderly people who has no source of income, widows and widowers.
