2018 was Masinyusane's most successful and impactful year ever in terms of Children's Education & creating local, meaningful jobs for unemployed youth.
Over the course of the year, we had 473 children receiving one-on-one literacy sessions in our Masinyusane Literacy Centres. In total, the children received 18,627 hours of tutoring!! Each of those invaluable hours was made possible by the incredible generosity of donors like yourself.
In addition to the literacy sessions, we built another school library at Fumisukoma Primary School. Over 1,600 children at the school benefit from the library, with hundreds participating in library projects each and every day.
We also launched a brand new Educational Technology Centre at Seyisi Primary School. This exciting pilot project is introducting the world's best educational software and apps to some of South Africa's poorest children, allowing them to benefit from the same technology that children in New York and London use.
Finally, we created 34 jobs for previously unemployed local youth. These jobs provide an income, but more importantly, the self worth of knowing that they're helping to uplift their own communities by investing in their local schools.
And those are just the headlines. Please check out our Annual Report attached for more photos and stories. We are 100% positive you will be inspired.
Thank you for your unending commitment to providing our children with more opportunities to grow, develop, and reach their potential in life.
Sincerely,
Jim
