Fezeka Senior Secondary School...

Our first project funded the expansion of a government-funded black high school in South Africa.

Fezeka is the only black high school offering classes in Xhosa, Sotho and Tswana. As a result, the school is bursting at its seams and turns away over 300 students each year. Currently the school has 1,777 students with up to 70 students per class.


First Project: Fezeka Senior Secondary School in Guguletu, South Africa


Classrooms are in constant need of repairs

Our goal
Build eight permanent classrooms to replace the current portables. Together with furnishings, it was estimated to cost R1.5 Million or Cdn$300,000.

Accomplishments to date:
A building contractor in Cape Town started building on August 25th, 2003 and we have completed the classrooms, which are currently being used. So far we have raised over $250,000 Cdn. through individual donations and varied fund-raising efforts. Cdn$35,000 is still needed to finish paying for this work.
