About HELP
The Homework Enrichment Lifeskills Programme was created to provide extra support for children outside the classroom. Many come from homes where the space or time to do homework is limited or where learning is not encouraged. HELP explores different ways to enhance the children’s education and to enjoy the process by increasing their literacy and numeracy abilities.
Our Children
The children come from a diverse cultural background and they all have a history which is hard for us to understand and comprehend. Besides their very difficult living conditions and family lives, these children are survivors against all odds.
What We Do
We run after-school programmes and learners’ clubs in two primary schools viz Heathfield Primary School and Thomas Wildschutt Senior Primary in disadvantaged areas in the Western Cape.
Daily Programme
A homework programme four afternoons a week for disadvantaged children, helping them to understand and expand their knowledge in both reading and numeracy.
Amazing Team
From our dedicated key staff members to our wonderful volunteers whom without them, due to COVID, we would not be able to do what we do.
Our Vision
We provide quality-driven education programs to help our learners achieve a high academic standard, combating the huge drop out in high school education. We enable and equip our learners with self-esteem and confidence to face the daily challenges of their social environment.
