She studies till 10pm. Let's make sure she's never alone.
70 families are piloting BrightMind free through exams. R80 000 keeps the lights on — AI answers, servers, school visits. Every rand is reported back to backers.
One pot, spent in bucket order. Shortfall stretches the pilot · overflow funds wave 2.
Why it matters
He's doing equations at the kitchen table while his mom brings tea she can barely afford to reheat. She's revising physics alone in her room, whispering formulas so she doesn't wake the house.
These aren't struggling children. They're hungry children — hungry to pass, to qualify, to become the first engineer, nurse, or teacher in their family.
BrightMind + Buddy sit beside them at 10pm and answer the question they were afraid to ask in class. Your donation keeps that seat warm — free for every pilot family, all the way to exams.
This is what your money buys — Buddy, patient at 10pm.

Plain terms, no fine print
- A donation is a donation. It's not a loan, not an investment, and it doesn't buy pilot seats or queue-jumping.
- No tax certificates. We're not a PBO (yet), so we can't issue 18A receipts. Give from the heart, not the tax return.
- One pot, bucket order. API runway first, then hardware, ops, buffer. Fall short and the pilot still runs leaner · overflow funds wave 2.
- Monthly backers: charged today, then monthly until you cancel — just reply to any backer email. No forms, no guilt.
- Private by default. No public wall of names. Only you get the receipt — plus Pilot Post updates if you opt in.
