ABOUT INKULULEKO:
A Department of Basic Education report shows that in South Africa only 5% of students finish grade 12 by the age of 18.
We contribute to changing this in the new South Africa by meeting tomorrows leaders, where they're at, today. We offer free tutoring, access to computers and the internet, transportation, exam prep, a library of text books and regular books (and snacks too!) to young people beginning in grade eight and remain with them through grade 12. We also have a social enterprise unit to support students with an entrepreneurial zeal.
Let us tell you about Asanele. He's an Inkululeko learner who loves to talk about Albert Einstein and counts Elon Musk among his idols. Asanele is serious about science. When we took him to the National Science Festival he asked so many questions, the presenter was getting annoyed so he whispered to other people questions that he wanted to have answered -- so they could ask.
Recently, with our help, he went quite nervously to a National Science Competition where he competed against other accomplished young people.
He won big. Asanele got a four year scholarship to any institution in all of South Africa.
Each year, when Inkululeko re-opens, there are far more applicants than spots available. We want to work with people like you to expand our capacity to serve more young people each year.
After all, we know there are more Asaneles out there. Were hoping you can help us reach them.
