RealDeal Trust is driven by a vision of community upliftment, to empower the unemployed, feed the hungry, provide accessible trauma support services and equip youth mentors through collaboration with corporate establishments, non-profit organisations and community-based leaders.

RealDeal was initially established for the development and distribution of community-relevant mentorship tools for vulnerable youth. Recognising the need for accessible community relevant resources, we developed a series to equip mentors. Informed by the experience and insight of community representatives, these tools equip mentors to guide youth faced with difficult realities such as violence, abuse, crime and addiction. The series of books, short films and app-based content provides a platform of Bible-based truth, real life stories and interactive exercises.

Over time, the use of these mentorship tools spread across diverse communities in South Africa and other African countries. Through collaborative relationship building, the awareness of wide-spread socio-economic challenges and its imposed vulnerability sparked a need for greater intervention.
