ProgrammesStart with readiness. Build towards participation.
Our core programme removes one defined clothing barrier through school-led delivery. Future programmes grow only when schools identify the need and the organisation can deliver and report properly.
Next horizonAnnual item refresh and school-identified learning support.
Core now
Two connected activities. One accountable delivery model.
Uniforms and shoes
Each package is based on the school dress code and the learner’s confirmed size. The standard planning package includes a shirt, trousers or skirt, school shoes and three pairs of socks.
- Who: learners identified with the school using written need criteria
- What: correctly sized, school-approved items
- Output measure: complete packages received and actual cost per learner
- Safeguard: private sizing and dignified handover with guardian involvement
School partnerships
Principals and school governing bodies help define the need and process. The foundation does not select children from the outside or turn household circumstances into public fundraising content.
- Who: rural public schools that invite a partnership
- What: written scope, roles, selection criteria and evidence plan
- Output measure: school scopes completed and handovers delivered
- Safeguard: confidential learner records and consent-led storytelling
Package planning costs
Know the assumption behind every number.
These are indicative planning figures inherited from the current organisational plan. They are not supplier quotations and must not be treated as actual programme expenditure.
| Package | Indicative contents | Cost per learner | 100 learners |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shoes and socks | School shoes, three pairs of socks and 10% delivery/admin allowance | R 539 | R 53 900 |
| Uniform, shoes and socks | Shirt and trousers or skirt, shoes, socks and 10% allowance | R 1 034 | R 103 400 |
| Full kit | The above plus jersey, school bag and 10% allowance | R 1 606 | R 160 600 |
Planned growth
Expand only when the evidence and operations support it.
Annual refresh
Children outgrow clothing. Subject to school feedback and funding, the programme aims to replace shoes and outgrown items for learners already supported.
- Replacement need confirmed with guardians
- Repeat support tracked separately from new reach
- Durability and replacement issues feed supplier review
Learning support
Stationery, school bags, books and, later, fee support or bursaries may be considered after the core model is operating reliably.
- Scope based on partner-school priorities
- Separate budget, targets and safeguarding controls
- No launch before operational and reporting capacity exists
For schools
A partnership shaped around your learners.
Tell us about the need, school dress code and a suitable delivery window. A school conversation does not guarantee funding; it begins a responsible scope.
For funders
A programme you can scope before committing.
Request a proposal with the school context, supplier quotations, delivery timeline, budget, indicators and reporting responsibilities clearly defined.
