Touching Lives
Emnotweni is committed to making an ongoing difference in the lives of those less fortunate, and to contributing towards improving lives in the community in which we operate.
While we continue to maintain relationships with various charities and organizations we have been involved with over the years, our main focus is on the following organizations:
SOS Children's Villages Nelspruit
www.sosvillages.org.za
SOS Children's Villages Association of South Africa is part of a worldwide organisation dedicated to providing children in need with warm, loving and secure environment in which to grow until they are ready and able to care for themselves. The Nelspruit SOS Children's Villages came into existence in December 2003 and is the newest village in the country. There are 10 family houses with a capacity of 10 children per house, 8 houses are fully operational with a total number of 65 children. The children are abused, abandoned, orphaned, vulnerable and neglected and have now found a new home in SOS. The ages of children are between 14 months and 16 years.
Student Learnership programme with PHATFWA senior secondary school
Phatfwa secondary school was established in 1982, it is situated at Mbonisweni Trust which is near Kabokweni township. Currently the school consists of 22 educators, 2 administration staff and 2 general workers with 725 registered learners. Of the 725 learners, some 108 are classified as orphans, most of which is dependant on the hand-outs of institutions and businesses.
After a careful selection process, Emnotweni has identified 8 learners within the orphan group which we are supporting by means of providing to their basic educational needs ranging from extra classes, aptitude tests, supply of study guides, supply of electricity at home to lunch and transport fees as well as school uniforms.
We are proud to say these kids have grown from strength to strength.
Objective
- To ensure each student achieve the best results possible by providing study guides, extra classes and monitoring guidance from the teachers.
- To encourage them to study harder to achieve more by means of rewarding them for these achievements.
- To build partner alliances with other businesses in & around Nelspruit to assist with this programme.
