Bursary Fund
Due to the great poverty in our area, many families are not able to pay for their children's education. Unfortunately, in South Africa there is no freedom of teaching materials and learning aids. Parents have to pay all school and tuition fees themselves.
However, since education is the foundation for a better future for the population and thus for the future of South Africa, the Brotherhood of Blessed Gérard established this scholarship fund as early as 1993. Your donation or "sponsorship" helps us to provide a good education to talented young people of poor parents from the Mandeni area.
