Xongo Primary School in South Africa

Needs Our Help

Who Are We Helping

We’re helping 380 elementary school students who attend the Xongo Primary School in Nquthu, South Africa.

Why Are We Helping

Most of the students who attend the Xongo Primary School come from families whose parents are unemployed and rely on government grants for their everyday life.

At the beginning of every school year students receive a basic package of stationery from the government that includes exercise books, a pen, a pencil, an eraser, and a ruler which is supposed to last them the entire school year. They are required to depend on their parents to provide the additional supplies they need.

Since many parents cannot afford to buy these necessities, this becomes a huge challenge and makes day-to-day learning very difficult, especially when students are unable to complete class activities because they simply do not have the proper materials.

How Are We Helping

We’re raising money to provide essential school supplies for the students at the Xongo Primary School. We will be purchasing and shipping these supplies through Amazon South Africa.

A teacher from the Xongo Primary School, in collaboration with the administration, requested the following items: pens, pencils, erasers, markers, backpacks, art books, costumes and props, as well as tablets.

Your Donation Matters

The teacher I’m working with to support the school sent me these videos after they received our first shipment of tablets, made possible through your donations. Another shipment of tablets is on the way so the students can begin learning coding and robotics. As you can see, both the teachers and students are thrilled to finally have access to technology. The teacher told me they have never received such a generous donation.

Please consider donating. Your contribution will make a measurable difference in the lives of these students.

Everyday Struggles

Most students of the Xongo Primary School come to school hungry. The government does provide food assistance through the school but the food is insufficient for the students to go through the entire day.

The students also experience difficulty learning because they don't have adequate and necessary supplies. The government provided supplies occur once per year and most families do not have the resources to replenish the students supplies when they run out.

Another challenge the Xongo Primary School students encounter is with the infrastructure of the school itself. The school was built by the community because their previous school was very far away. The community donated funds to build the school, but the infrastructure is not up to standard. Many aspects of the school building need replacements and repairs including the windows, doors, and desks. Unfortunately the community does not have the money to support these improvements.

My Story

In 2023, I enjoyed making Rainbow Loom bracelets. During my yearly trip to Ohio to visit family, my great aunt showed me the gift boxes she was preparing for underprivileged girls. I immediately wanted to help.

I told my mom I wanted to make a bracelet for every gift box, so she bought the supplies I needed to make 300 bracelets.

It was such a rewarding experience to know little girls all over the world would have something special just for them!

Why Now

This year, I made another 400 clay bead bracelets for the holiday boxes. When my mom shared this achievement with the readers of her blog, a teacher from the Xongo Primary School reached out for help.

I told my mom I want to help them.

I want to help these students because if we can raise enough money, we can give these kids the tools they need to learn, grow, and have a better chance at a brighter future.
