Help Vusizwe Foundation by Donating money for rural village ENGLISH READING CLASS for payment of reading mentors & printing reading material

Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

We are looking for one year worth of funding to re-start our English Reading Club for children. Had we not been interrupted by Covid Lockdown we would have been over 120 children now. The children study at our community hall after school. In small groups of 6 -8 per trained reading mentor. Vusizwe Foundation NPO provides these English classes, after school, 3 times a week for rural kids (aged 6 - 14 years) of KwaZangashe where schools are poorly resourced. Our rural Children fail or drop out of school as a result of poorly resourced rural village schools in which they struggle to read and write. The rural areas are faced with the multifaceted challenges that emanate from their abject poverty.  One of them is the poor education systems and the fact that children have challenges in even gaining access to such system.  Schools in the rural areas keep on scoring lower in terms of learner’s performance, literacy levels, reading and writing in comparisons to their urban school counterparts.  The same aforementioned predicament ravages KwaZangashe village near Dutywa, the present’s evaluation site.  Vusizwe Foundation introduced an English reading class for children from grade R to 8 in KwaZangashe. The main focus of the English reading class was to address the challenges of English language difficulties among the children at development stages that have also been reported as the critical barriers that learners face at the school.
