Our goal is to fully fund the Grade R class of 32 children and their teacher, Shanaaz, a qualified, passionate educator from the local community. This program provides foundational learning, care, and stability to children in their first year of formal education-ensuring they start school with confidence, skills, and support to succeed. Help us as we raise funds for the teacher and the costs to keep the lights on in our school
Children in this community face poverty, overcrowded housing, and limited access to quality early education. Many families cannot afford preschool, leaving children to start school behind in literacy, social skills, and confidence. Public schools are overwhelmed, with little individual support. Without intervention, these young learners are at risk of falling through the cracks from the very start.
By funding our Grade R class, donors provide 32 children with a safe, nurturing environment led by a qualified teacher, Shanaaz Anderson. Donations cover her salary, meals, learning resources, security, electricity, and connectivity. This support ensures that each child receives focused attention, strong early learning, and daily care-giving them a fair start and the skills needed to thrive throughout their school journey.
Early education shapes lifelong success. By funding this Grade R class, you help 32 children build literacy, social skills, and confidence-critical tools for breaking the cycle of poverty. Your gift not only transforms their school year but sets the foundation for future learning, graduation, and contribution to their community. This is how change begins-one class at a time.
