Our most valuable asset is our youth.
On the 16th of June, 1976, around 200,000 students took part in a protest against laws instated by the brutal apartheid government. By the end of that day, 179 young people had been killed by police. This act of extreme courage undertaken by those thousands of students has become known as the Soweto Uprising, and we will never forget the role that they played in fighting for, and eventually gaining, their freedom.
Although the times have changed, Homework Enrichment Lifeskills Programme (HELP) has made a promise to keep championing our youth, and working hard to help them take full advantage of the opportunities they fought so hard to win.
By promoting literacy and education, HELP continues the legacy of the youth of 1976 by empowering today’s children to shape a better future.
We run after-school programmes and learners’ clubs in two primary schools viz Harmony Primary School and Thomas Wildschutt Senior Primary in disadvantaged areas in the Western Cape.
A homework programme four afternoons a week for disadvantaged children, helping them to understand and expand their knowledge in both reading and numeracy.
From our dedicated key staff members to our wonderful volunteers without whom we would not be able to do what we do.
The children come from a diverse cultural background and they all have a history which is hard for us to understand and comprehend. Besides their very difficult living conditions and family lives, these children are survivors against all odds.
HELP requires a little over R500 000 per annum to see through our programmes and assist our almost 3,127 children with the Homework Enrichment Lifeskills Programme (HELP). Kindly consider donating and help shape the future of our children.
Every rand donated goes to providing books and stationery, food and supporting the enrichment of our children.
It takes a village... meet our dedicated team members!
