African Educa�on Founda�on
Reports and accounts for the period ended 31 April 2023
Annual Report for the period ending 30[th] April 2023
Founded in 2016. Its mission is to provide the opportunity for educa�on in science throughout South Africa ini�ally, with poten�al for roll-out to neighboring countries in the future.
We achieve this through the funding of equipment, apparatus and literature needed for the teaching of science.
The Africa Founda�on is a fully legal charity, registered in the United Kingdom, and its main purpose is to act as a reliable conduit for the dona�ng of funds from the United Kingdom directly to their desired source in South Africa.
Ini�ally, the Founda�on is focussed on using dona�ons to assist with the funding of science educa�on at the Nhlambanyathi High School in Sodwana Bay, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Dona�ons through the Founda�on can be either monetary, or actual purchases of products such as books, science kits and equipment for the school. We are also looking to fund bigger one-off projects, such as the funding of a science laboratory.
The Founda�on ensures all dona�ons go towards all projects that are inline with the aims of the Founda�on to further science educa�on in those countries that need the support.
The Founda�on has started a project at the Nhlambanyathi High School in Sodwana Bay, KwaZuluNatal, South Africa.
PROJECT MISSION - The mission of this project is to refurbish an exis�ng classroom at the
Nhlambanyathi High School and transform it into a suitably equipped science laboratory to improve
Further work will start in the Umkomaas area to create an a�er school care programme to assist pupils where they are struggling with the exis�ng curriculum.
ABOUT THE SCHOOL - The Nhlambanyathi High School is situated in the coastal village of Sodwana Bay, in the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal, on the coast of the Indian Ocean. The school was founded in 1991 with two teachers and approximately 30 pupils from the surrounding villages. At that �me there was no high school in the area, and from the outset, the mission of the school was to educate its pupils in the field of science. All pupils are given the opportunity to learn General Science, Mathema�cs, Geography, History, Accoun�ng and the languages IsiZulu, English and Afrikaans.
In 2016 the school had 224 pupils with an age range of 14 to 23 years. There are 8 teachers to educate the aforemen�oned subjects in the South African syllabus.
A�er comple�ng their educa�on at the school, pupils can con�nue their ter�ary educa�on at the University of Zululand, near Richards Bay in South Africa's KwaZulu-Natal. Pupils may also con�nue their educa�on at the Mthashana FET College, also in KwaZulu-Natal.
