BOOST The World is a dynamic learning community grounded in a holistic approach to education. Established in 2018 in South Africa, the initiative aims to nurture young individuals into becoming heart-centered leaders who are autonomous, free-thinking, and socially responsible. The community believes in fostering a deep sense of awareness and respect for the natural laws of the earth, promoting ecological consciousness as a key aspect of their curriculum.
The organization operates on the principle that education should be driven by real needs and the prospect of a sustainable future. It encourages students to actively participate in their communities, fostering positive changes and contributing to a more beautiful world. Through collaborative efforts with various partners, including corporate donors, BOOST The World is committed to ensuring a brighter future for all communities involved, encompassing children, parents, caregivers, teachers, volunteers, and specialists.
Towards an educational evolution (love)! To thrive in a world that is constantly and rapidly changing, we need an education that inspires students to innovate, find purpose in life, lead with heart and soul, love to learn and develop, and can make an impact as an autonomous citizen of the world. Our teachers act out of love, wisdom, understanding and trust.
Humanity is faced with many problems – countless conflicts and wars, great poverty and misery all over the world, human suffering and refugee flows, an unstable financial market, monetary crises and recessions, fatal ecological disasters, inner division and aimlessness. It is time for an evolutionary transformation of humanity. The current way of education has been focused on individualism, fear, performance and power. And, we believe it should be focused on raising consciousness through spirituality, soul development and multidimensional living. It’s time for a new generation of young evolutionary thinkers to make a difference.

Way 2.
Through our education, we uplift a new generation to become evolutionary difference-makers (250.000 people), so that they can bring about desired socioeconomic changes. Between the age of 18 – 26 years.
Way 3.
By facilitating the growth and development of learning communities around the world, kick-starting in South Africa.
We believe that through education we can make an impact in the world with a new generation of heart centered leaders. We educate, mentor, uplift, transform & (re-build) global communities. In our online learning community we offer many workshops and E-books for the whole family. Our online learning community offers a place to connect with other communities.
We believe that we are all elements in a connected life cycle.
Our “Young Leaders”, facilitators, volunteers, community leaders strive to improve themselves and the society around them to be difference makers, authentic, loving, caring, more self responsible, wise, joyful and devoted. We are connected with our own online community learning app.
Know who you are and what you stand for. A healthy mind in a healthy body. Our school programs are holistic and involve the whole person, including the socio-emotional, intrapersonal, intellectual and kinesthetic connections.
BOOST The World is a Learning Community where education is shaped from a holistic world approach. We started the reception initiative.
Learning and creating together. Equally and with respectful approach to each other. We want to create an environment where everyone feels ‘at home’. The school prioritizes and nurtures relationships between all students, their environment and their community.
Teach me to do it myself, independently and from ownership. Be able to learn at your own pace. Our life lesson curriculum adapts to the changing needs of students, so students take ownership of their own learning journey by being involved every step of the way.
Living according to the laws of nature. We pay special attention to the ecosystem, learning about the natural laws of the earth to contribute to a sustainable future.
“It takes a village to raise a child.”
This is a quote that originates from ancient African tribes. The idea behind this is that if you want to let a child grow up entirely from its own talent, you have to do this with the entire community. We are more than just a shelter or school, we are a learning environment for children, parents, educators and teachers. A world in which we can learn together is the ideal world for us.
Rosanne van Zalingen, the founder of BOOST The World foundation, grew up in a bullying, disempowering and unhealthy school environment. Therefore, Rosanne started dreaming of a peaceful world, bringing compassion for all those lives, where as many children and youngsters as possible get the opportunity to live a conscious, happy, healthy and prosperous life; to be seen and to be heard. So they can take good care of themselves, the environment and the planet.
The only thing that can have a transformative effect is education, the development of humans. And that starts at the conception. Every child has the right to develop, unfortunately not every child has the opportunity to develop in an optimal environment. At BOOST The World foundation, we focus on human development. And we provide education through a holistic approach.
Our community was created from our shared vision to make the world a bit more beautiful for a new generation. We all believe that development and education from a holistic approach is the key to a fruitful future for people, animals and the planet. In collaboration with real ‘Change Makers’, partners, ‘Young Leaders’, sponsors and volunteers, we together ensure a bright future for global communities.
United Nation Sustainable Development Goals
Our goal is to align BOOST The World projects in with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and establish learning communities where we integrate collaborative projects into sustainable local economies.
The project objectives are based on the needs of the identified community needs and aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Sustainability involves maintaining a constant state of well-being by intertwining environmental, economic, and social aspects. Over the past 50 years, global awareness has grown, particularly in uplifting youth and nature in Africa, Asia, and South America.
The Problem
Projects relying solely on funding and grants often prove unsustainable, falling short of expectations within 5 or 10 years.
Our Approach
We aim for long-term impact by focusing on global youth education in ecosystems and supporting local communities to build sustainable learning environments. Our agenda emphasizes simplifying daily activities for a productive, sustainable process that aligns with nature. We seek to reconnect humanity with its roots, emphasizing individual uniqueness to enhance our diverse community-based projects. Educating youth on sustainability empowers the life cycle, restoring harmony with nature.
Corporate Sustainability Model
Our model offers an investment platform with social and economic benefits. Socially, partnerships with local communities address their development needs, while economically, partners gain returns through startup businesses, local economic development, infrastructure, education programs, and tourism.
