Project Description

We are excited to announce the start of a new partnership with one of our area schools, Tshaneni Junior School. Although lacking in basic needs such as water, toilets and basic learning aids, both teachers and students are enthusiastic about education and future possibilities. The school is on the way to Mkuze, situated up in the mountains with beautiful views. A visit can be planned to interact with students and teachers or alternatively one can also plan to help with teaching and assist with projects.
