Our Aim

We aim to help schools in the informal settlements, improve access to education and to help children thrive at school. The strengthening of the schools' financial position allows them to educate those children whose parents cannot afford schooling as well as the countless orphans who live in their local communities. After 5 years the schools will be self-sufficient and self-reliant such that they do not dependent on well-meaning but ultimately ineffective charitable hand-outs.

Ways We Hope To Help

School Management System

Install a $600 PC and provide them with basic school management software, driving a strong improvement in fee collection.

Computer and sciences labs

By helping provide these things, we enable the school to follow the new national school curriculum. This means they and get more students and therefore get more money to improve their schools further.

Fuel Efficient Stoves

Fuel Efficient Stoves reduce the amount of firewood needed to cooks meals, saving the schools almost 60% on their firewood costs. In addition, these stoves come with small flues which properly vents harmful smoke.

Solar and Battery

Installing solar panels and batteries almost completely eliminates the cost of electricity for our schools.

Leadership and teacher training

We are working with WERK and Dignitas to provide teacher training and leadership training. This will help improve the overall teaching at the schools.

Course Material and Reading Books

We can provide text books and basic learning resources in order to help the teachers and students during lessons.

Water Tanks

Water tanks allow the schools to buy and store water from the water bowsers operating in these communities. This saves the schools 85% compared to buying water in jerrycans.

Microfinance Providers

Our microfinance partner delivers access to funding for investment in classrooms and transport.
