Empowering youth in South Africa through supplemental education and opportunity.

provide sustainable, positive change – student-by-student,
generation-by-generation.
Generally information
Initial Research Project:
Inkululeko is embarking on an initial research project to further
understand the barriers to learning that youth face in Grahamstown,
South Africa. These findings will assist the organization as we begin to
develop our core vision of supporting youth in their educational and
personal development through formational years of grade 8 through
matriculation.
The end produc
t
of this research project will be in the form of a mixed media
presentation to be shared in the United States and South Africa to build
partnerships, create transformative programming sensitive to local
needs, and provide inspiration for future collaborations and donor
investments. After all, who better to discuss the myriad of challenges
and opportunities that exist in Grahamstown schools than the principals,
teachers, parents, students and community members who work at, attend,
and support these schools.
