Christel House Mandela Day Drop-off
Christel House South Africa will once again be hosting a Mandela Day Drop – off event at the school on 16 July 2021.
With many of the student’s families still struggling due to the pandemic, Christel House SA appeals to the public to either:
a) Purchase a Food Bucket Hamper (or a few) from your local retailer (Checkers, PnP, Makro or Shoprite) and drop off/deliver it at the school’s campus on Friday, 16 July, between 10h00-13h00. Address: Christel House SA, Swallowcliffe Drive, Ottery, Cape Town, 7800.
b) Simply make a donation towards their vital feeding program at www.sa.christelhouse.org/donate.
Your support will help feed 750+ students and their families – and give them hope during these challenging times.
Christel House SA is a registered non -profit organisation and can issue all SA companies and individuals with 18A tax-deductible certificates for their contributions (for physical donations a proof of purchase is required).
More about Christel House
Christel House South Africa is a non-profit school with a single mission: to break the cycle of poverty. It offers no-fee scholarships to students from some of Cape Town’s poorest neighbourhoods and supports them for 19 years (Grade RR to Grade 12 and five years post-matric) through character-based and career-focused education. The school’s beneficiaries include 762 students from grade RR to 12, 250+ post-matric students and more than 3000 parents and other members of the communities it serves.
The main criterion for admission to Christel House is not evidence of talent – but evidence of poverty, one measure of which is a maximum average income of R1,500 per household member per month. Key aspects of Christel House’s model include poverty mitigation services in the form of daily transport to school and back, professional health care, nutritious meals, psychosocial counselling, family assistance and college and career planning and support.
Christel House transforms the lives of its students and helps to build self-sufficient, contributing members of society.
