EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
PROJECT
About Our educational program provides learners( ages 14 – 18) from previously disadvantaged backgrounds an opportunity to gain a national certificate in courses offered by schools and colleges in South Africa. We train and teach students basic skills that are not necessarily covered in the school curriculum, but is needed to perform daily functions, like public speaking, computer training etc. Our main focus of this project is to equip our children and ultimately making them employable. This however does come with challenges.. They struggle to conceptualize basic schoolwork The ability to follow instructions is minimal They lack basic computer skills They face extreme social pressures because of where they live (98% come from the location) They cannot express themselves freely, this causes frustration, depression;.

Port Elizabeth
Port Elizabeth Port Elizabeth is a city on Algoa Bay in South Africa's Eastern Cape Province. A major port, it's also known for its numerous beaches. The Donkin Heritage Trail takes in the Old Hill neighbourhood's Victorian landmarks. Coastal boat tours spot whales and rare seabirds, while wildlife reserves outside the metropolitan area are home to elephants, rhinos and other big game.
Did you know? PE used to be called the 10minute city, because - you guessed it - you can get anywhere in 10 minutes or less. But not anymore, as things have grown and gotten busier, it will now take you 15 minutes to get somewhere. So PE is now officially a 15-minute city.
While famous for its beaches, PE is also quite a wild place. No, not in terms of nightlife, we meant wildlife. There are many reserves where you can go game spotting including the Addo Elephant Park that is dedicated to the preservation of the Eastern Cape Elephant and the Cape Buffalo.Â
Believe it or not, PE is actually South Africa's second largest city - with regards to its area at least. In terms of population, it's the fifth largest. This probably means that it's a pretty spacious, pleasant place to live
