Jorvan Community Outreach Student Centre
Organizational Overview: Jorvan Community Outreach (“Outreach”) is
a community-based organisation that supports positive youth development in
townships within Cape Town. Efforts
focus on educational, nutritional, health and social, support. Upon securing
financial sponsorships, there is also a special emphasis placed on enrolling
students in high-quality learning institutions from the primary school to
university level.
Statement of Need: The constituents served by Outreach projects are living in
conditions of extreme poverty. Many of the children do not have access to formal
housing, electricity, or running water.
As a result, they often suffer from low self-esteem, poor academic
development, and diminished life goals. To date, the Outreach has been able to offer a
private residence as a stop-gap measure to address these challenges and provide
a private, healthy, safe environment for study. Creating this type of space for
the children will allow them to fulfil their dreams which in most cases seem so
distant and unrealistic.
Proposal:
In the upcoming year, we wish to acquire the following at the Student
Centre: Extra rooms which will serve as
classrooms for tutorials; a computer lab where the learners will have convenient
access to internet for projects or tasks and a fully functional library for
research purposes.
Target
Population and Involvement: Outreach identifies children across racial
boundaries that have exceptional academic ability but do not prosper due to the
adverse conditions in their communities. Many children are living with their
mothers or other family members and receive little or no support due to
external pressures (e.g., unemployment, long work hours, etc.). Jorvan Community
Outreach will manage this Outreach Student Centre but allow students to take
ownership by giving them a sense of belonging and pride. This will help them to
regain their self esteem, realise their dreams and prosper.
