ABOUT US

Our Story. Our Purpose.

“We believe in the power of community and collective effort.”

At Be The Good, our mission is simple: to assist the young children of the Karoo region by providing them with the support and resources they need for their development.  Every act of kindness, no matter how small, has the power to create ripples and transform lives. We are committed to being the change we wish to see, advocating for the little ones who cannot speak for themselves, and ensuring they receive the respect and support they deserve to thrive and flourish.

OUR STORY

Our founder, Oscar van Antwerpen, was inspired to establish the NGO after witnessing the positive impact of a single act of kindness.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to act as a catalyst for positive change, providing a platform for those who once felt hopeless, and empowering children and scholars to take meaningful action.
