The SOS Africa Western Cape Trust

Founded in 2013, The SOS Africa Western Cape Trust facilitates vital support to impoverished communities in the region. In partnership with local schools and in collaboration with other Cape Town charities, our grassroots NPO provides:

• Holistic education and care programmes for children without access to good schooling or after-school care.
• Learning support for children unable to read or with specific learning difficulties.
• Youth training programmes for young adults who dropped out of the education system prior to graduation.

These educational programmes are facilitated by experienced teachers based at SOS Africa Education Centres in the heart of selected school campuses. This trident approach aims to break down three significant barriers to employment in the Cape Town area: poverty, learning difficulties and escalating school drop-out rates. The SOS Africa Western Cape Trust’s first graduate is now in full-time employment with many more matric students graduating in 2024.
