Kagiso Trust and Cyril Ramaphosa Foundation have embarked on an exciting initiative aimed at improving education in two districts in the Free State. This partnership will see both organisations contributing through their respective programmes; the Adopt-a-School Foundation and the Beyers Naude School Development Programme.These organisations will combine their resources, knowledge and best-practice whole school development models to make a sustainable and long-term improvement to education.Each organisation has committed R100 million over five years to adopt all the schools in the Fezile Dabi district. The Free State provincial government will match this contribution.The collaboration between these three parties is a natural outcome of their shared vision and passionate commitment to education as the primary route to reducing poverty and empowering the marginalised in South Africa. In order for effective teaching and learning to take place, this venture has to look at the whole school and the whole child. Only in this way will we make a lasting difference to the lives of the children in the programme.
