The Kusasa Project was founded in South Africa to encourage a brighter future for underprivileged children by facilitating academic, sporting and life skills development

61% of children in South Africa cannot read by the 4th grade.
Over 1 million households have no literate adult.
Only 8% of South Africans use the internet.
Only 8% of the population speak English as their mother tongue.
Most of our students live without clean running water or sanitation in their homes.
HIV/Aids infection rates in South Africa = 20% of the adult population resulting in a large number of single or no parent households.
Regular, organized recreational sport is scarce for primary school boys – nearly non-existent for girls - in The Kusasa Project’s area of operation.

We seek to stimulate children’s minds and aspirations to a future beyond the shacks and poverty in which they now live – a brighter & healthier tomorrow!
