Dear friends,
2020 proved to be a challenging year for most, with the COVID-19 pandemic restricting social interactions, causing many businesses to close their doors and leaving some of its employees without work.
Many schools were forced to close their doors to traditional learning and many learners fell behind academically as a result. This left us seeking alternative methods to ensure our learners were supported during this unprecedented time.
The pandemic forced us to innovate and alter our approach to tutoring and mentoring. As we now had to incorporate online tutoring and self-study methods into our practice.
In this report, our Board Chair, Putukwane Madisha and CEO, Hope Chidawanyika reflect on the past year, the challenges we have faced as an organisation, but more importantly, how we have demonstrated our dedication to improve and innovate as we embark on a new year with fresh perspectives.
The report also shares some of our highlights from 2020, in particular, the continued success of our Community Collaborations Programme which has grown its network, reaching learners in new provinces. .
2020 also saw the launch of the Last Push Maths and Science support programme in partnership with Shell in the Limpopo Province. We were able to support over 400 learners with mathematics and physical sciences tutoring in preparation for the Matric exams.
