OUR PROGRAMMES 

 

Educational Reading Programme 

The educational Reading Programme is a unique strategy to address the literacy crisis and instill a love for reading in children struggling to read and write and living in poor communities. It is designed to operate during the weekend, on Saturdays. Our reading program will be run at Thabo Mbeki Informal Settlement in 2024, where our tutors will offer one-on-one tutoring to struggling children specializing in reading and writing. For this program to be successful, we will engage with local schools and also open calls for applications in selecting learners to be involved in our program. 

Children and Youth Safety Holiday Progrmames

This program is aimed at equipping children and youth with different life skills which they can use in their day-to-day living. The program significantly helps to reduce incidences of crime, depression, teen pregnancy, and drug use. We conduct holiday programs in June and December, which create a safe home for children and youth during the school holidays. We regularly invite resourceful people who succeed from the same communities to motivate our children and youth within the programs.
