Help Premiflo by Providing financial and non-financial assistance for learners in Junior Secondary Schools on Gwatyu farms
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Gwatyu farms is a sparsely populated farming community of former farm workers in Chris Hani District in the Eastern Cape province whose dwellers survive on social grants, subsistence farming and remittances from migrant workers. Chris Hani District Municipality is faced with various socio-economic challenges compounded by a growing rate of unemployment and poverty resulting from lack of access to education amongst other factors. Unlike other rural communities in this region which are densely populated, Gwatyu farms by virtue of being farms becomes more costly for the government to address its needs. Gwatyu has been the hardest hit by the scarcity of government resources. As a result, schools in this community receive less attention as they have to a point of being dysfunctional. The lack of the required equipment for learning results in lack stimulation for the learners and contributing to high level of school dropouts.
