Every child educated and given a chance at a better future contributes to a thriving economy for generations to come. This is why we’re committed to uplifting the standard of learning and teaching at disadvantaged schools, with a key focus on maths. Our Blue Ladder School Project partners with schools throughout South Africa to improve maths literacy at a rudimental stage, as well as uplift the standard of nutrition and key facilities in schools to promote these developments.
Improve learners’ maths competency levels, education on nutrition and upgrade key facilities in schools.
Giving learners a headstart on a brighter future can impact our economy for generations to come.
