Tree Planting and Environmental Awareness Initiative - Mzoxolo Pre-Primary School Precious Tree Project

SITE #2: Mzoxolo Pre-Primary School

Mzoxolo Pre-Primary and Lawaaikamp Creche is a small school situated in the industrial area of Lawaaikamp, Thembalethu, in George. The school accommodates approximately 600 children, between the ages of 3 and 7 years (Creche and Grade R learners). There are 6 classes of  3-4 year old learners and 6 classrooms of Grade R learners (of which 3 are situated at the Primary School across the street).

The school is situated in a low-income community, where many of the community members live around the breadline and where unemployment levels are high. Fundraising  from within the Lawaaikamp and Thembalethu communities is not a possibility and the pre-primary school is heavily reliant on external,  outside-the-community funding to support the school’s maintenance and upliftment requirements.

Aside from a few trees in the front area, the grounds are absent of trees for shade and privacy from the noisy surrounds of the industrial area. 

The staff and learners of Mzoxolo Pre-Primary School, Lawaaikamp Creche & The Precious Tree Project Team Say THANK YOU WMO!
