This School provides at-risk, vulnerable youth a second chance at education. We are registered with the Western Cape Education Department and our 145 students enjoy individual attention in “small” classes within a trusting learning environment. We are striving towards a caring and safe environment for children to be physically healthy, mentally alert, emotionally secure, and socially competent and be able to learn.
N.H. is a non-profit organization serving the community in the western cape of South Africa. We started out in 1997 and now run seven projects that range from babies to adults, assisting in areas of healthcare, education and training. We believe each one of our projects is truly fantastic in its own right. N.H. School is providing a second chance to vulnerable youthwith secondary school learners between 13-21 years old. There is 1 professional Social worker on the school.
Goal: Aiming for skills transfer next to leaving behind materials and methods that can be used in terms of sustainability within the education and wellbeing of children.
