Corporate Social Investment Projects
Transformers
Transformers is a comprehensive intervention aimed at transforming perceptions of Mathematics while enhancing literacy skills from Early Childhood Development Centres (ECDs) to Grade 3.
Utilizing level-based workbooks tailored to each student’s proficiency, it lays the foundation for a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. Teacher training ensures effective instruction, while literacy interventions support ongoing reading and comprehension development.
Additionally, the program fosters youth development through the Educator Assistant program, empowering local youth to contribute to their communities while advancing their own academic and professional growth.
Implemented in 10 Primary Schools and 10 ECDs in the Ngwaabe & Mashishing Districts of Limpopo, Transformers promises to revolutionize mathematics education and literacy skills across the region.
