Thank you for considering becoming a friend of Sparrow Schools, and getting involved with us. We ensure ongoing access to affordable quality education and vocational skills training to children and youth who cannot cope in mainstream schools due to barriers to learning. More than a quarter of our learners are orphans who stay in places of safety or child-headed households. Due to their learning difficulties and special needs they will not become doctors, lawyers or accountants. However, with Sparrow Schools’ specialized interventions these young people will reach their potential as they gain the valuable skills of numeracy, literacy and a practical trade skill to find a job. Thus ensuring that they have the opportunity to make a livelihood and contribute positively to society. In addition to the education and training provided each learner has access to counseling, therapy and support services. This is essential as many of them do not have access to traditional support structures e.g. parents and the extended family. Sparrow Schools have been meeting the needs of marginalized children and youth for 20 years. As a registered Non-profit organization we have accreditation with Umalusi, and our vocational skills training programmes are approved by the relevant Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETA). Thus we offer successful graduates nationally recognized qualifications. Our learners also gain work experience and we endeavour to secure work opportunities for them. Contact us on sparrow@mweb.co.za or visit our website at www.sparrowschools.co.za for more information. |
