Learners are also provided with food parcels for the school holidays.<\/p>\n
The Trust also sponsors school uniforms to vulnerable learners as the lack of a school uniform causes many children to drop out of school.<\/p>\n
The project assists 628 children across seven centres throughout Ekurhuleni.<\/p>\n
