Subject: Nomination: Eden Ridge Primary School – LSEN Unit Support

Dear Helping Mzansi Team,

My name is Mphasa Jaxa from Lethukukhanya NPO (Eden park,Alberton)

I am writing to nominate Eden Ridge Primary School for your upcoming CSI project. I am a community member and an aunt to a learner who attends the school, so I have seen firsthand both the dedication of the staff and the critical needs that remain unaddressed.

Eden Ridge Primary has a dedicated LSEN unit that serves children with various learning challenges, including:

· Intellectual disabilities

· Developmental delays

· Reading and numeracy difficulties

However, the unit is severely under-resourced. The school desperately needs:

· Specialised learning materials (sensory toys, visual aids, adapted books)

· Therapy resources (occupational and speech therapy tools)

· Training for educators on inclusive teaching strategies

Why Eden Ridge Primary?

As an aunt to a learner there, I have witnessed the incredible patience and love that the educators pour into these children often with very little to work with. Despite the shortages, they never give up on a single child. With proper resources, they could change even more lives.

These learners are often forgotten or overlooked. Supporting Eden Ridge Primary's LSEN unit would send a powerful message: every child matters, and every child deserves a chance to thrive.

Regards,

Mphasa Jaxa

Subject: Nomination of Morton Estate Primary School for a School Revitalisation Donation

On behalf of Ubuntu Foundation NPO, I am honoured to nominate Morton Estate Primary School, situated in the deep rural area of Karkloof under the uMngeni Local Municipality, to be considered for the Helping Mzansi People Out NGO School Revitalisation Donation Programme.

Morton Estate Primary School serves children from a disadvantaged rural community where access to adequate educational resources and infrastructure remains a significant challenge.

The school has deteriorating facilities, including broken windows and doors, damaged playground equipment (jungle gyms), and inadequate fencing around the school premises. These conditions compromise the safety, security, and overall learning experience of both learners and educators.

A revitalisation donation would have a meaningful and lasting impact on the school by enabling the repair of damaged infrastructure, improving security through proper fencing, and restoring safe recreational facilities for learners. These improvements would create a more conducive environment for teaching and learning, enhance learner attendance and morale, and promote the dignity of every child attending the school.

As Ubuntu Foundation NPO, we believe that every child deserves access to a safe, secure, and inspiring learning environment regardless of where they live.

Investing in Morton Estate Primary School is an investment in the future of the Karkloof community. Improved school infrastructure will not only benefit the current learners but will also serve future generations.

We respectfully request Helping Mzansi People Out NGO to give favourable consideration to this nomination. Your support will make a significant difference in the lives of the learners, educators, and the wider community by restoring hope and creating an environment where quality education can flourish.

Thank you for considering this nomination and for your commitment to uplifting schools and communities across South Africa.

Hello @ Helping Mzansi People Out!!

My name is Linokuhle Mkhasibe.

I teach in Umlazi, R section @ Ndukwenhle High School. We would love to receive a donation from your wonderful programme. Our school, under the leadership of our Principal, Mr Mbonambi, has been achieving a 100% pass rate for three years now. Mr Mbonambi has opened so many opportunities for teachers to be permanently hired by the Department of Education through ofcourse, the high enrolment in the school because of academic excellence. We have about 1500 students and 40 teachers from 16 educators three years back. It is a growing school that strives for academic excellence for the black child. Most of our learners after Matric go to different Universities and I can't tell you how proud and fulfilling this makes us all teachers to be. Knowing that they have a chance to be what they want to be and change their lives as well as be the first or a continual addition in their families plus communities to be role models for staying in school and making a difference through hard work and dedication. So, as a result of this high enrolment, the toilets have never been renovated. Most of these toilets are not working properly, are broken and the entire space just is not very hygienic nor a giod sight. Jojo tanks do not last more than three days, provided they were full, to be used by all learners and teachers alike. It is a struggle and we know, 1500 learners needing the toilet on a daily basis and drinking water is a lot. Some become dehydrated, we need to send a few home because the toilets are dirty and full of dirt.

We encompass 70 to 80 learners per classroom with desks that seat three learners each. The school can have more classes to encompass all our learners and it would certainly put less pressure on the learners and teachers (during teaching and learning) and especially during hot seasons. Most of the classroom windows and just the structuring of the entire school is old and outdated. We need your help to ensure that the environment we teach in is safe and clean for a conducive atmosphere of learning, and to make sure that our new grade 8s that enrol every year are in a safe environment that will be their home during day time for the next 5 years.

Thank you

Hello Mbambo,

The Golf 5 GTI used to be my husbands little escape and his pride. You could see it in the way he drove it, the way he took care of it. It wasn’t just a car, it was something that belonged to him in a world where most things didn’t.

But life changed.

Now every day, he wakes up and puts everyone else first. He makes sure i have what i need with the kids. That our kids are okay. That the house is running. That there’s food, that things are stable, that nothing is missing. And when something is missing, he finds a way to fill that gap even if it means sacrificing something of his own.

So the Golf 5 had to wait.

At first, it was just small things wrong with it. Things he probably could’ve fixed if life wasn’t so demanding. But every time he thought about it, something more important came up. Something for us, something for our kids.

And without even realizing it, he chose us over and over again.

Now the car just stands there, quiet almost like it understands.

He won’t be able to use my car anymore as i'll be going back to work soon as i've been on maternity leave and that Golf it needs to come back to life.

But this time, it’s not just about getting from point A to point B.

It’s about him.

It’s about giving back to the man who has been giving everything without asking for anything in return. The one who keeps choosing his family, even when it costs him the things he loves.

That GTI Golf 5 isn’t just a broken car.

It’s a reminder of everything he’s put on hold.

Fixing it isn’t just about the car starting again, it’s about him feeling like he can start choosing himself sometimes too.

My name is Tshigomana Zwivhuya, I’m currently stuck because my car needs a service before I can continue working. This car is my livelihood, and without it I have no income.

If you’re able to help with any contribution, no matter how small, I would be very grateful. I’m not asking for luxury — just a chance to get back to work.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.

Hey Mambo and Team.

My name is Karabo Monamodi and I am reaching out to request assistance on behalf of my mom. She has a Toyota Run x 2003 160rs. It initially broke down in 2020 and I have been trying to fix it but getting scammed. Finances took a dip once my dad died and I had to take over the responsibility of our household. Besides her having a car to get around and possibly transport my son to school. I want to fix the car for her as a surprise because it was a gift from my dad and the only thing she has left that signifies their love. The problem now that financially I'm struggling I am not able to tend to her one memory of her husband. Trusting you and your team could assist. Attached below is the before and after pics of when I washed it late last year. Physical damage is not bad. Under the bonnet there's alot going on lol. Thanx Guys.
