Construction of ablution facilities for poor schools
Schools in the rural areas are still faced with the stigma of using pit-toilets after so many years since South Africa gained democracy. This degrading situation is faced by schools in townships and mostly by the schools that in the outskirts of the country. We want to assist government by providing water and construction of flushable toilets for these schools. This initiative will ensure that we restore the dignity of the poor and maginalised pupils and teachers in rural areas.
School building maintenance
We provide maintenance services to the schools by fixing wall, ceilings and leaking roof. Walking around a school in a township or village is eye opening in terms of seeing the dilapidated state of public schools. This is not as a result of negligence but of a lack of resources. Most public schools are no fee-paying schools, because of this, school Principals and the SGB’s are unable to maintain the school buildings and gardens to their former states.
We work with the school Principals and SGB’s across South Africa to ensure that schools are well maintained and are safe for teaching and learning.
Security Services
“Multiple fatal reports indicate that schools are unsafe, and there is an urgent need to review the current school’s safety strategy. It is reported that between January and March this year, eight murders, 14 attempted murders, and 84 rapes occurred on the premises of educational facilities, including day-care centres and universities”
We assist schools by bringing expert advice on security issues and concerns, we perform detailed risk assessments for the schools and advise on mitigating controls.
On certain circumstance’s we assist in the following:
- Upskilling and training of community members.
- Provision of security equipment.
- Assist with CCTV Monitoring.
- Contracting Qualified PSIRA Security Guards for the schools.
