About KHULA Education

KHULA Education is a small but mighty NGO that is breaking the chain of intergenerational
poverty and levelling the playing field for rural children and youth in deep rural KwaZulu-

Natal, South Africa. Since our founding in 2007 in memory of the preeminent South African
historian David Rattray, we have been working to improve education outcomes and economic
prospects for rural children and youth, and today support over 6,500 children and young
people and 300 teachers annually.

With our support, previously failing schools now compete at the national level, with exam
pass rates soaring from 54% to 91% in just a few short years. We have helped hundreds of
young people to access further education and gain decent employment in fields including

teaching, medicine and IT.

All the funds you raise will support KHULA Education’s work to provide a quality education
and economic opportunities for maginalised children and young people in rural KwaZulu-
Natal through our four core areas of work:

1. Quality early learning and two nutritious meals a day for over 280 two – four year
olds at our four KHULA preschools

2. Supplementary teaching in Maths and English for children at 18 under resourced,
government-run primary and secondary schools

3. Training and development for more than 300 local teachers
4. Support for young people to prepare for and access further education and
decent work.
