Social Work

What have we done?

In 2021, The Social Work students were part of the MGD Virtual Tutoring Programme. This tutoring programme saw Stellenbosch University students matched to over 50 high scholars that they met every Monday to tutor via Whatsapp. These students were based at 3 forgood Causes in Lanseria, Diepsloot and Alexandra. What was the social impact made? Relationships were built, students received their practical experience and learners received improved marks.
