DELIVERING LASTING CHANGE
We build mathematical competency in low-income communities.
The problem
is that only 3% of South African youth are competent in mathematics leading to critical skills shortages in the economy.
The consequences
are high unemployment, a struggling economy and poor service delivery. This is fueling corruption, crime and social unrest.
Our objective
is to build a solid foundation in numeracy to prepare children for high school STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).
Our solution
is to train community members to run math clubs. Developed by Rhodes University, math clubs focus on fun ways to learn key concepts.
WHY MATH CLUBS?
