About Us
Social Impact Africa began in November 2020 as a Future Leaders program in Troyville, Johannesburg, crowd-funded by my cousin, Kaushik Kalita, who lives in the United States. We started with a small group of young people from townships who simply wanted a different life and to solve the problems around them.
We invited Timothy Maurice, a four-time bestselling author and podcaster in behavioural psychology and applied neuroscience, to speak at the programme. The participants loved him, and he gifted each of them a copy of his latest book.
What began as a small grassroots initiative around self-leadership and social change slowly grew into a platform supporting people with meaningful ideas and community-driven change. At its heart was a simple belief: the best solutions often come from people living closest to the challenges themselves — we simply help bring those ideas to life.
