This project will help community members to start and sustain an early childhood education program for 60 vulnerable children in an area of rural South Africa devastated by the HIV epidemic and by the longstanding effects of racial segregation, unemployment, and poverty. The program will provide children with critical educational and emotional support, as well as hot meals and other essential services. Through relieving the burden of care, we also help older children return to school.
We at Open Doors see education as the key to a brighter future. Students seeking higher education in under-served communities near Cape Town face tremendous social and financial barriers due to Apartheid's lingering scars of inequality. By partnering with local community leaders, we provide scholarships to promising, community-oriented students and encourage them to gain lifelong skills to help them, their families, and their communities escape the intergenerational cycle of poverty.
