3 WEEKS OF FREE SCHOOL MEALS FOR A PRE-SCHOOL CHILD
Hunger shouldn’t stand in the way of learning. Malnutrition affects 27% of children in South Africa, leading to stunted growth and poor concentration. KHULA provides two nutritious hot meals a day to all pre-schoolers, ensuring they have the energy to learn and thrive. Your support means a child can receive three full weeks of meals, giving them the foundation for a brighter future.

9 DAYS OF TRAVEL FOR OUR MATHS & ENGLISH TEACHERS
Education changes lives, but rural schools face massive challenges—overcrowded classrooms (sometimes 90+ students per teacher), underqualified educators, and lack of access to quality learning. KHULA supports 6 primary schools and 5 high schools, reaching 3,250+ students annually.
- We segment classes by ability, reducing class sizes and improving student engagement.
- Students in KHULA-supported schools outperform national averages in Maths and English.
- Rural schools are isolated, with limited road access—your support funds teacher transport, ensuring they can reach students who need them most.
£10 / R230 per month
6 MONTHS OF LIFE SKILLS & EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT FOR A YOUNG PERSON
KwaZulu-Natal faces 80% youth unemployment, one of the highest in South Africa. KHULA’s Skills Hubs provide young people with vocational training, digital skills, and job placements.
- In 2024, 643 youth received training—more than double the previous year.
- 87 young people secured employment, breaking cycles of poverty.
- KHULA partners with CISCO, DHL, and local businesses to provide job opportunities.
- Over 30 students are now on university scholarships, transforming their futures.
Your support equips young people with the skills they need to build a better life.

OUR AIM
Experience tells us that education is the primary means of improving the economic opportunities of children and moving families out of poverty.
Our vision is that all children, regardless of their socio-economic, cultural background or location are able to reach their potential and make a difference to their families and communities.
Our aim is to work with the existing teaching programmes in local government primary and secondary schools and enhance the children's experience of education. We are passionate about reaching as many children in KwaZulu-Natal as possible and hope to expand the KHULA Linked Schools model further whilst maintaining the quality of teaching and support that we provide.
Our Results
We believe that measuring our impact is imperative to understanding and improving the success of our programmes. To date we have seen:
- Despite having limited or no exposure to English when they started pre-school, 80% of KHULA’s pre-school children were fluent in English by the end of two years with us
- KHULA students consistently rank in the top 20% of the grade when they graduate from KHULA pre-schools to primary school
- Our primary school teaching support programme saw a year-on-year average increase of 7% in English and Maths scores in 2020
- Our senior school teaching support programme saw an improvement in Maths pass rates for all eight classes taught in 2020, against baseline testing
- In final year Matric testing, our Grade 12 teaching support programme saw 100% pass rates in English for 2020
- Over the past two years, KHULA’s Life Skills & Job Readiness Programme has influenced the lives of 1,100+ in-school youth
