EDUCATION

Access to quality education is still a pipeline dream for many South Africans. 50% of children that begin school in Grade R (Kindergarten) successfully make it through to their Matric (Senior Year). 

At Thembalitsha Foundation, we believe education is not only limited to a classroom. It is an Early Childhood Development class behind a tiny red table, with a group of little ones gathered around learning collaboration. It is an auditorium filled with resilient youth on their first day back at school, in safe place with inspiring teachers. It is even alongside a soon to be mother, in a circle of chairs learning about how to best care for and support her baby in those early day so life. 

We believe everyone deserves a chance to learn to be better equipped for a brighter future.
