The Humane Education Trust (better known simply as Humane Education) is committed to promoting values in education through literacy and Life Orientation. By rekindling the spirit of care and respect for life, learners find a new sense of self-esteem and confidence.They begin to understand that only through their own individual actions can they begin to lay claim to their constitutional right to human dignity.

Three of our titles have been chosen for the Western Cape Education Department’s 100 Books in Every Grade Project and our resources are used in schools throughout South Africa. The Humane Education Trust is also a full member of the Publishers’ Association of South Africa.
