The Sandra Jones Centre is committed to educating girls. Through providing school fees, vocational skills training and their agricultural training course more than 100 girls are educated and trained every year.
We are proud of the girls who have passed through our doors. Senzo came to us as a young girl with a bright mind but a family with no resources to pay her school fees. We sent her to school and then teachers college and she now has a masters degree. We couldn’t be prouder of Senzo. Pellagia spent her high schools years with us and then went on to agricultural college. She now runs her own broiler chicken project and employs 2 people. We are so proud of Pellagia.
The old African proverb “If you educate a man you educate an individual, but if you educate a woman you educate a family (nation)” was a pioneer in its time for realizing the importance of women's education when men predominated education opportunities.
