Zenzele
Zenzele is a non-profit organisation in Blanco that takes care of approximately 70 primary school children between the ages of five and 14 years as well as a number of high school pupils aged 15 to 18. They are collected from school and brought to the aftercare centre where their homework is supervised. They also receive a nutritious, balanced meal.
The centre's main focus is on reading, writing and math literacy. The teachers help the children grow in confidence, and encourage the youngsters to stay in school, off the streets and out of crime.
The centre also organises outings to expand the horisons of children. As part of the programme they do fundraising projects like the upcoming Amazing Race.
