Builds for 2020
Mzamomhle build
We hope to build Principal Jamma a new school in 2020 with suitable space for her children to learn and thrive in. Read her story here
Lonwabo build
We want to bring hope to children and parents of the new Lonwabo Special Care Day Centre. This new facility will enable Principal Thandeka Mafila to increase her numbers from 35 to 60 children requiring special care. It will also set the platform in place for her to fully meet the stringent criteria for licensing her centre. Inclusivity is the theme underpinning the campus concept, and Lonwabo’s new centre will form an important element of it enabling children of all abilities to meet and interact.
This is the story of a Lonwabo child, who took her first steps at age 6. Help her and others with disabilities get a new special care centre.
