ADVANCE EDUKOS FOUNDATION
Morning cruise was joined in studio today by the
founder of the Advance Edukos Foundation,
Wendy Abrahams to speak more about her foundation based in strandfontuin.
Advance edukos is a non-profit organization creating
purposeful pathways for the youth. Through quality and well-structured after
school programmes, their target is grade 4 to 12 learners from strandfontuin,
michell’s plain and surrounding areas. They gladly partner with other
organisations to ensure that they offer a variety of activities that best
support the youth.
They envision a world where all young people are
inspired and equipped to realize their full potential and aspire to be the best
version of themselves.
Our morning cruise presenter ‘Khusi’, started the interview
off by asking Wendy how it all started in which she responded that she is a
teacher by profession and started helping some learners during Covid where she
thought it was a time of tough challenges for individuals. She also mentioned
that she does have an incredible team helping her and that the name Advance Edukos
is purposeful because of the pathways they create.
She also shared some of the programmes they have and
started off by mentioning that they have a program for 15 to 24 year-olds where
they are taught job skills. She as an afterschool program as well where they do
coding and planning for the future fourth or fifth industrial revolution. Wendy
mentioned that she does work with 3 counsellers and work very closely with
places like the YMCA, hands and feet and also local community churches and libraries.

Wendy also mentioned that at the foundation they do not want to ‘TAKEOVER’ the parent roll, but rather work alongside the parents on getting their permission to help their children. She also thinks it’s important for people to know that circumstances does not define where you come from. She also encourages parents to let their children join her program or anyone to get involved by contacting her on 0781413183 or email admin@advanceekdukos@gmail.com
