Education changes everything!
In South Africa, vulnerable children face overwhelming barriers to quality education. Many local schools are overcrowded, under-resourced, and unsafe.
At iKhethelo and Lily of the Valley Children’s Villages, we deliberately place our children in better fee-paying schools to give them:
• Safer environments • Strong academic foundations • Sport and leadership opportunities • Access to university and career pathways
But a better education comes at a cost ...
