Story

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” - Nelson Mandela

South Africa both tops international rankings as the most unequal country in the world and has the highest unemployment rate globally. Amnesty International has decried its education system as “broken, unequal and failing the country’s youth”. These inequalities become all the starker in rural, invariably black communities.

KHULA Education is a small but mighty NGO that is tackling these issues, breaking the chain of intergenerational poverty and levelling the playing field for rural children and youth. We work across the entire academic ecosystem, assisting teachers, principals and critically, over 6,500 children and young people from preschool through to graduation and further education or decent work.

With our support, previously failing schools now compete at the national level, with exam pass rates soaring from 54% to 91% in just a few short years. We have helped hundreds of young people to access further education and gain decent employment in fields including teaching, medicine and IT.

In 2023, DHL and other friends of KHULA around the world raised over €10,000 for our work, with over 150 riders, walkers, runners and swimmers joining us from more than 30 countries! This year, we're hoping to hit €25,000!

All the funds raised will support KHULA Education's work to provide a quality education and economic opportunities for maginalised children and young people through:

1. Quality early learning and 2 nutritious meals a day for over 280 2 - 4 year olds at our four KHULA preschools

2. Supplementary teaching in Maths and English for children at 18 under resourced, government-run primary and secondary schools

3. Training and development for more than 300 local teachers

4. Support for young people to prepare for and access further education and decent work.
