At Africause, we believe in supporting African students to achieve their best. . We specifically focus on providing support to African students who require assistance. We’ve already witnessed cases of students who went from participating for less than 5 minutes a day to becoming engaged in school, just like their peers. We recognise the need for desired outcome for the student to stay in school we need to collaborate with both school leadership and family. This is critical in ensuring open communication and strategies shared across the board. The students receiving consistent expectations from all those involved in their learning.
We offer three programs designed to assist kids who are at risk of dropping out or are disengaged.
- Africause Wellness Program
- Mentoring
- After-school Program
- in-school mentoring
