More than 130 children (Grades 1-8) from different schools attend the after-school programme Monday through Thursday day. Most learners are from single parent-headed families or are staying with grandparents, and most parents are unemployed or are employed as domestic workers. Learners are provided with support in their studies and their homework. Special attention is given to English, Mathematics, Science and Technology. Learners receive meals at the end of the programme each day before they go home. In the ten years of this programme, the majority of those involved are no longer dropping out of school and are now either employed, attending high school or tertiary institutions and doing quite well.

A number of children are assisted through primary, secondary and higher education. These are children that would have left school because their respective families would not afford to keep them in schools.
