Educators are innovators.
We are a small Charity based in Richmond Upon Thames that finances a homework school for more than 200 primary school children in Guguletu Township, 20 minutes from the centre of Cape Town. The purpose of the homework school is to provide extra tuition for pupils in junior school, aged 6 to 14, struggling in over large classes, a safe after school environment away from the violence of the streets, a hot meal for each child daily – often the only hot meal that they receive, and a caring community to assist the children in their early development helping them to make good progress through school and even enabling some of them to eventually go to university. It includes one of the Forbes South Africa’s best young entrepreneurs amongst its alumni.
