Educate a South African Child Experiencing Poverty

Christel House South Africa has been shortlisted as one of the world’s Top Ten Schools in the “Overcoming Adversity” category for the “World’s Best School Prizes” – the most prestigious education awards globally.

Three finalists will be announced in September, and the winner in November. “To be recognized as one of the Top Ten Schools in the world in overcoming adversity is such an honor,” said Adri Marais, Christel House South Africa CEO. “As one of over 15,000 entries, we are particularly proud to be able to lift Christel House, and South Africa, to the world stage.” 

Vikas Pota, Founder of T4 Education and the World’s Best School Prizes, said: “Unless we solve the urgent challenges global education faces – from learning gaps exacerbated by COVID to chronic underfunding and the growing teacher wellbeing, recruitment and retention crisis – we will have failed the next generation." He continued: “Trailblazing South African schools like Christel House South Africa, which have cultivated a strong culture and aren’t afraid to innovate, show the difference that can be made to so many lives. Schools everywhere can now learn from their solutions, and it’s time governments do so as well.”
