Invest in quality education where it is urgently needed


 Dear Vision AfriKa Supporter 

Vision AfriKa Primary School is the Kayamandi community’s courageous and visionary response to an education crisis.

We have launched a crowdfunding campaign to help us meet increased demand for school places in an area where government schools are unable to accommodate new learners in sufficient numbers.

At the time of writing our fund stands at 40% of our R50,000 target. With your help we can reach our funding goal or, given that it's the festive season, we may dare to dream even bigger!

 
Support our campaign
If you want to know more about the Vision AfriKa Primary School and the impact we have on learners' lives, watch our new video:
Your donation will boost the school fees parents already pay and will enable us to help more children in Kayamandi benefit from the quality education they need to reach their potential.
 
Support our campaign
If money's tight right now but you'd still like to help, there are non-financial  ways to contribute too - see below for some opportunities to get involved. We are extremely grateful for all kinds of help.

Thanks again for all that you do, and have a wonderful holiday season.

Until next time,

The team at Vision AfriKa
