Schools Development Intervention
Adopt-A-School
Intervention primary focuses:
Through this Organisation Hands On assist and connect the needs of under developed schools to potential benefactors from the private sector, NG0’s and governmental structures. For this purpose OHO regularly conducts thorough surveys in schools and communities. The results of the surveys are used two-fold:
- First, to expose the needs of the under developed schools and communities to potential benefactors such as local and international corporate and other governmental structures and elicit their support and assistance. For this purpose, OHO publishes a directory of schools, profiling each school and its needs.
- Second, to provide first hand data and relevant information to the Department of Education and the Department of Social Development for schools and communities development purposes.
The Construction Education & Training Authority (CETA) partnered with us on our first successful Adopt-a-School renovation project at Reahlahlwa Primary School in Vaalwater, Limpopo Province. A huge thank you to the Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Buti Manamela, CETA and everyone involved in this project.
Back to school
In 2018, upon launching the project, our organisation set out to show that adding a little bit of goodness every day has the power to change the world for the better.
The first ‘Back to School Project’ project was an incredible success. Not only did it help scholars who were most in need of school shoes, school uniforms, stationary and sanitary towels, but it opened our eyes to the immense need for this kind of intervention by so many children in communities across South Africa.
That said, we could not allow the project to be a once-off thing. We had to commit to spreading goodness in this way over the long term.
Archery
Intervention primary focuses:
This is an outreach strategy that uses the sport of archery, designed to help us gain access to children and youth to help develop their inherent strengths and potential as future leaders.
