Objective

The Teachers for Africa Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to good and inspiring education for underprivileged children who are forced to live in the townships surrounding cities such as Cape Town, South-Africa. By offering financial, material and emotional support, children have more opportunities to build a better future for themselves.

We offer a helping hand in two ways - sponsoring small-scale community projects initiated by local residents, and doing volunteer work for small-scale educational projects.

The sponsorship projects, which we support with fundraising, aim to improve the level of education in schools with a high number of disadvantaged pupils. These projects include sponsoring of a library, food programs for pupils and scholarship funds for promising students by giving them a chance to continue their education at better schools.

Our Foundation regards volunteer work as an excellent means to reach our objectives, because this form of aid helps to bring direct and real improvements to township classrooms. Education is crucial in the battle against poverty.
