ewb programmes
Education without Borders (EwB) provides education for disadvantaged and at-risk children. These include after-school tutorial sessions in mathematics, English, targeted science topics and further programmes supporting psychosocial support and leadership. EwB also offers language enrichment programmes in First Additional Language (FAL) English and Afrikaans in Grades 1-3 (foundation phase).
These after-school programmes operate from seven sites in the Western Cape, four high schools and three primary schools.
EwB currently serves approximately 1,000 learners across suburbs and townships of the Cape Flats. The programme activities are facilitated by a dedicated team of about 50 tutors, the majority of whom are students at the University of Cape Town or the University of the Western Cape, including some EwB graduates.
EwB supports local Indigenous projects in Canada.
