BENFIT DELIVERY
Good education is the foundation upon which winning communities and countries are built. Our local Bitoucommunity is a laboratory for our vision of ‘creating a learning environment that develops children who are well equipped to lead independent and responsible lives’; we are doing this by:
- Working with school managers and teachers to build capacity and accountability into school systems
- Supporting the Early Childhood Development programme in Bitou to ensure school readiness
- Motivating and inspiring Grade 12 learners from disadvantaged backgrounds who are at risk of failing; a 3-day Motivational and Study Camp was held in April 2011, already June exam results showed a marked improvement
- Identifying and assisting learners with special learning needs and addressing developmental delays through occupational therapy
- Providing emotional support to vulnerable learners with the help of therapists and psychologists
- Developing and managing an extensive after-school programme that takes children off the streets and into a life enhancing range of music, drama and sporting projects
