Classroom and office buildings (campus phase 2)
In 2021 we will be adding another grade to our beautiful new campus (currently 3 classrooms). For this to happen we need a new classroom for grades 5&6. We also need another toilet block and an office where staff can meet and work and where we can put a photocopy machine. 

We need to raise R800 000 to build and equip this phase.

Teacher accommodation
Rented accommodation with water & electricity is difficult to find in Zithulele. Axium Education and Zithulele Independent School are collaborating to build a 3 bedroom homestay on the homestead of a local family to provide accommodation for their employees. The house will have solar power and piped rain water.
We need to raise R280 000 for this project.

Solar
Our school currently has no electricity. We manage really well with natural light, but would love to be able to use the internet to bring the world into our rural classrooms, invest in a photocopy machine, use electronics & have light on cloudy days.
​ 
Basic solar for our school would cost R30 000.

Library books 
We are always in need of more books for our school library! We are currently raising money to buy readers in isiXhosa and English. The kids are devouring the ones we have and we would love to keep encouraging their growing love for books. Many thanks to Axium Education for lending us many of yours in the mean time!

Sending a child to school
Learning is a lifelong adventure. We would like as many adventurers as possible. By supporting our 'send a child to school' fund with a once-off or monthly donation, you can help us to make the adventure a reality for more children in our community.
It costs approximately R1300/month/child attending our school (all inclusive). Most children pay much less than that. 

More teachers
Our teaching team is a small, dynamic unit. Growing a school is hard work, but we learn every day (from each other and our kids). If you love children, adventure and being creative with what you have in front of you then please get in touch. We are looking for a new Foundation Phase teacher and a new Intermediate Phase teacher for 2021.
