Bright Start organization give children from impoverished communities the chance of the quality education they deserve, so they can dream of a better future – not just for themselves, but for the whole of South Africa. 

And with their successful partnership with 11 schools means that they are able to consider the best school for each child, thereby paving a way for them to university, further education or a career.

We were also able to talk about the goals for 2024 which are to be able to give 100 children from poor communities the chance to receive the quality education they deserve.

Also, we speak about The Bright Start Educational Support Programme changes the lives of entire families and effects change in the wider community of Hout Bay and beyond. The childrens come from families in the townships of Hangberg and Imizamo Yethu, who value education and the opportunity for change that a good education offers. Their commitment to, and investment into the program, is an integral part of the success of any Bright Start child.
