HOW YOU CAN HELP?
The Kusasa Project Early Learning Centre - We need your help!
After 5 year working with poor children in South Africa we are establishing an Early Learning Centre for pre-school & early primary school kids to address the debilitating problem of illiteracy & innumeracy afflicting the kids we serve. By intervening with professional education at an early age, our volunteers & staff working in the schools can give kids a chance to learn.

The Kusasa Project will provide the head-start these kids deserve.


The hard facts for poor rural schools in South Africa:
  • South Africa has a short-fall of 30,000 teachers
  • > 1 million children do not have teachers
  • Literacy & numeracy levels grow worse from grades 3-6-9
  • Student : teacher ratio = 63:1
  • Lack of time teaching 3.5 hours/day
  • Uneducated & ineffective teachers
  • Misuse/non-use of re-sources
  • Children pass through school with little or no literacy & numeracy skills
We Need Your Help to bring structured literacy & numeracy to children aged 4-6. R275 000 / £25,000 will support an Early Learning Centre staffed by trained, motivated teachers/assistants, using educationally sound materials in an stimulating environment.
