PLEASE HELP CREATE A FUTURE FOR A CHILD
SPONSOR A CHILD’S EDUCATION AT HERMANUS WALDORF SCHOOL

The Hermanus Waldorf School is conveniently located between the communities of Zwelihle, Mount Pleasant and Sandbaai in Hermanus, thus a central meeting point for the three different cultural groups that make up this community in the Western Cape.

The majority of the children attending our school come from disadvantaged homes in this area.

What does this mean?
Households of up to 8 people living in two rooms Families of four living in single roomed “shacks” made of corrugated iron sheets. Often only one parent working. Some children are orphans. No play areas except the streets No spaces for reading or learning

This does not mean the children are neglected or uncared for, it simply means that living conditions are harsh for the parents and despite this they are sending their children to Hermanus Waldorf to prepare them for a better future.

The school offers pre-school and primary education to children of all races. When children from all walks of life are brought together in an atmosphere of encouragement and creativity, their natural optimism will help overcome difficulties such as language barriers and economic background.
