OUR STORY
Khula Development Group is a registered non-profit organisation (NPO) with the mission to prevent school dropout amongst primary school children from disadvantaged communities.
We do that by promoting a positive culture of learning and strengthening the value of education and school attendance.​
​
Every child deserves a chance to realize their potential, and so we focus on the foundation phase, where the educational journey begins. Many of these children come from disadvantaged areas marred by poverty, abuse, and violence. They face numerous challenges, including the effects of foetal alcohol syndrome and low cognitive behavioural skills.
​
Khula provides both school- and home-based support for children showing early warning signs of school dropout. We want to reinforce the value of education and school attendance within households. We believe that by targeting the root causes of disengagement at an early stage, we can help these children chart a brighter future.
​
Khula envisions a transformed generation by investing in the education and development of these young minds.
Together, we can ensure that the next generation is empowered, educated, and ready to face the challenges of tomorrow. Let’s change the future of our children!
Through LOVE and EDUCATION, we can make a difference.
