The Mdumbi Education Centre operates in one of South Africa’s poorest provinces, the Eastern Cape, home to the Xhosa people.

With limited access to accurate information about HIV/AIDS, the province has an HIV prevalence rate of 29%. Basic education is also poor, with 40% of people having had no schooling at all.

The Mdumbi Education Centre offers an educational springboard to a more prosperous life for the Xhosa people, currently trapped in the cycle of poverty and disadvantage.

While preserving and respecting the Xhosa culture, the Mdumbi Education Centre provides:

• Pre-school learning for 100 children aged 3 to 6.

• After-school classes for 300 children aged 6 to 12.

• Adult Education and Training for 250 adults.

• Further Education scholarships for committed young learners.

• A library including information on HIV/AIDS, healthcare and how to deal with violence, rape and alcohol abuse.

Join us in providing a future for the children of South Africa.
