DONATE NOW AND #GIVEAHANDUP TO NEW GRADE RR’S
Author: Christel House South Africa
Christel House SA, a non-profit school that serves students from severely impoverished areas on the Cape Flats, is appealing to the public to support its #GiveaHandUp campaign, which raises funds for essential school supplies for its new Grade RR
The school will be adding Grade RR to its Early Childhood Development offering for the first time in its 20-year history. Construction of the three classes is complete and will accommodate 20 students per class for enrolment in July 2021.
These 60 deserving Grade RR students will all be recruited from households where the average income is less than R1 500 per person per month, making back-to-school supplies a luxury that these parents simply cannot afford.
The new Grade RR students will need school shoes, uniforms, a backpack, learning materials and educational toys, as well as fortified porridge that contains essential nutrients for growing children. For as little as R150, R500 or R1200 (the price of a full starter kit), you could give a Grade RR’s a hand up on their 19-year learning journey with Christel House. The school offers a holistic character-based and career-focused education model that yields exceptional results, such as a recent 100% matric pass rate and a 99% matric pass rate average since inception. Quality education is coupled with poverty mitigation services in the form of daily transport to school and back, professional health care, nutritious meals, psychosocial counselling, family assistance and college and careers planning and support.
South African donors who donate before 5 May and leave their contact details on GivenGain will be entered into a lucky Mother’s Day raffle and receive one of four exciting prizes, including UCOOK meal vouchers and natural skincare packages from Mélan Skincare.
