Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

Children in township and rural communities are struggling due to a lack of infrastructure and resources. The SAME Foundation is addressing this crisis to ensure that in the coming years, our projects will produce children who have been educated to a level that allows them to reach their full potential. We are currently improving ID Mkhezi Business Commerce and Management School situated in Gugulethu, which is a predominantly Xhosa speaking community consisting of around 100 000 people. The community has an unemployment rate of around 40% of which, approximately 50% of them live in shacks. ID Mkhezi High School is a typical township school - born out of a previously disadvantaged community, poor infrastructure setup (RDP structure), poorly trained educators and learners from a society riddled with social ills. Yet, against all odds, ID Mkhezi High School rises above all in striving for quality and excellence. This is evident from the continued excellent academic performance across all grades. This school strives to offer quality teaching and learning to the High school learner population which currently stands at 1245 pupils. Although they are challenged with many difficulties, ID Mkhezi High School has managed to deliver quality education and produce excellent results as is evident in the 2018 grade 12 NCS results where a 85% pass rate was obtained, which was an increase of 23% from the previous year. In order for the school to sustain and improve both quality and quantity, the school has to intensify the usage of available technological resources by integrating these resources into teaching and learning habits on a frequent or daily basis.
