EnviroServ Waste Management hopes to bring relief to vulnerable households in and around Thembisa when their Tshepo Mamabolo Dress a Learner Programme hands over uniforms valued at R60 000.
Forty-five learners at nine schools from Thembisa, Chloorkop and Klipfontein will be the lucky recipients of brand new school uniforms at a handover at Phomolong Primary School on March 7.
Learners will each receive a shirt, tunic or pants, jersey, blazers, tie, socks, and shoes. The schools,
Peter Zongwane, Phomolong, OR Tambo, Mayibuye, Chloorkop, Gideon Rambuwani primaries and Maphuta, Phomolong and Charlotte Maxeke secondary schools, are all located within the wards near EnviroServ’s Chloorkop waste facility.
EnviroServ’s Dress a Learner programme launched in 2013, is a collaborative effort between community leaders, the Department of Basic Education and encourages schooling among primary and high school learners. “EnviroServ realises that a good education opens doors. It is critical to invest in our children and by extension, the future of our country,” said EnviroServ Public Affairs Manager, Makgabo van Niekerk.
Invited guests at each handover include officials from the Department of Education, community leaders including ward councillors, principals, educators, school governing bodies and the parents of the learners due to receive school uniforms.
