by: Magister South Africa Student & Volunteer Programs

4.08 (12)Since 2000

The organization offers an internship involving all areas of their work, particularly PR, marketing, and communications, to promote and raise awareness through campaigns and fundraising. They also welcome the input of video producers or editors to share the stories of families on the program. They also welcome interested volunteers willing to tutor, support projects, help with exam preparation, teach Mathematics and English, and assist in other activities. Through private funding, the NGO supports disadvantaged children in and out of school to ensure they are given every opportunity to reach their best potential. Their successful partnership with 11 schools means proper education for each child, helping pave the way for further education and a brighter future career. Their program also changes the lives of entire families and effects change in the wider community. Their young beneficiaries from nearby townships value education and the opportunity for change. The NGO's commitment and investment in the program are integral to each child's success.
