Help an educator  – help a learner

South Africa’s schools are crying out for change. They’re under-resourced, classes are overloaded, educators are stretched thin and learners face many challenges that threaten their safety and educational futures.

Some learners have difficulty at school and educators need different tools to reach different learners.
 
Girls and Boys Town have practical solutions – but can only be effective with your help.
 
With your support Girls and Boys Town’s Training and Education division can keep making a difference.
 
Learners need to be encouraged and motivated, and their educators need our support to do that.
 
Our ‘Well-Managed Classroom’ programme empowers educators. They’re given the right skills and tools to manage learners, to build relationships and revive a culture of learning. Educators want to spend more time teaching and less time dealing with difficult behaviour – and our programme helps them do just that. If you click here you can help to give an educator the tools they need to teach, to impact positively on the country’s most prized natural resource – children and learners!
 
Right now 183 schools in the country are desperate to take part in the programme.
 
Your valued and caring support will help us to ensure that learners, educators and schools benefit from our skills-based educational programmes.
 
Your support now will impact positively and bring out the best in them!

As you’ll see, the theme of ‘success’ is a strong thread (see literature section). I’m proud to share these inspiring, true stories with you, our supporters, who give our girls and boys the chance for success.

Helping every one of our youth to fulfil their potential is an integral part of Girls and Boys Town’s work. Many of our girls and boys have faced severe challenges, often caused by the socio-economic circumstances in which they’ve lived. Of course, there’s no ‘quick fix’ solution. It takes time and a high level of expertise to help them – and their families – to heal and move forward in a positive, constructive way.The role of our Family Services division is invaluable here.

Every division within Girls and Boys Town fulfils a crucial role. From our Education and Training division – which is growing from strength to strength – to our visionary Evaluation and Research division and Residential Services teams ... each is like a piece of a complex jigsaw: they all work together to ensure the best outcome for the youth we are dedicated to helping.

Thank you for sharing our commitment to the ‘todays and tomorrows’ of South Africa’s young people.
