With TRAC, the Jutta Olga Weller Foundation supports a long-standing and professional educational organisation for young people in Cape Town. TRAC South Africa is a private organisation that works with selected high schools in poor regions throughout South Africa to provide gifted young people with an individually tailored education through assessments. To this end, TRAC works with various colleges and universities, including the renowned University of Stellenbosch.

Originally, the programme was designed to identify and develop qualified engineers, technicians, scientists and mathematically gifted young people in the South African population. Through the individual assessments that are conducted today, it is clear that TRAC is shaping the careers and future paths of young people. Through TRAC, mainly poor and socially disadvantaged but gifted young people from rural areas and bush villages gain access to education.

TRAC South Africa was founded in 1994 by Professor Fred Hugo in the style of TRAC United States of America.

TRAC creates value for its beneficiaries through a three-pronged intervention strategy. TRAC’s value proposition to its beneficiaries is to eradicate poverty through education.

Through the individual assessments, TRAC is shaping the careers and future paths of young people. Through TRAC, poor and socially disadvantaged but gifted young people from rural and township areas gain access to education and succeed at secondary and tertiary studies.

With TRAC, the young people supported in the "Ekhaya Lika Phumla" project are accompanied into the next phase of their lives. In particular, high potentials who would otherwise not have access to university education can benefit from this connection.
