Funded by Ponahalo De Beers Trust
Three existing School Campuses located in the town of Kleinsee have been donated by De Beers Consolidated Mines Trust to the Northern Cape Education Department for the establishment of an inclusive public school. All parties desired to see it used to service the educational needs of children in the Namaqua district who have not previously had access to more intensive support and alternative education streams.
The need for an inclusive school to provide quality educational opportunities not only for the local Kleinsee children but also for learners in the Namaqua District requiring higher level support needs was identified and the Ponahalo De Beers Trust engaged our services to consult with the role players and facilitate the development of a model for the school, as well as a three year implementation plan. After several months of training in 2013, the school opened in January 2014 and our work there continues with monthly workshops and site visits.
