The Red Hill Pre-School is located amongst the informal settlement of Red Hill Township, outside Cape Town, South Africa. The Pre-School is made up of over 30 children between the ages of 2 and 6. They attend school 5 days a week and are provided with two meals each day and educational activities that include outdoor play, songs, dance, art, reading, writing and many more. A Child Sponsorship program has also been established to provide parents with the support needed to send their children to school.

  • This is a custom departure, meaning this trip is offered on dates that you arrange privately with the provider. Additionally, you need to form your own private group for this trip.

For most providers, the larger the group you are traveling with, the lower the per-person cost will be.

Itinerary

Why is this project needed?
This settlement has been slowly expanding over the last 20 years to house displaced Africans and refugees living in poverty. Approximately 2,500 people live in this area, in houses made from scrap materials such as iron and wood. Many are unemployed, and are unable to provide their children with food or opportunities to receive an education. The Red Hill Pre-School was closed in 2007, and then re-opened in 2008 through a partnership with the Happy Africa Foundation.

How you can help?
Donations made to this project will support the development of the pre-school, as well as the sponsorship program to help provide children in this community with an opportunity to receive support and an education.
