The IIE’s Varsity College and IIE MSA recently launched the Khumo (Kid Heroes under Mentorship of Others) initiative.
Each campus will partner with a primary school for the next two years. Because of its existing relationship with Diepsloot Primary School, the Sandton campus decided to partner with the school.
By enlisting the help of students, staff and lecturers, the campus will get involved and collaborate with the school on projects that will address the specific needs identified by the school.
Joe Makhafola, principal of Diepsloot Primary School said, “I look forward to the amazing projects we will be partnering with the IIE’s Varsity College Sandton through the Khuma partnership. The campus adopted our school in 2019 and it has not only been a pleasure to work with.”
Priority for this project will be for the Sandton campus to revamp the Diepsloot Primary School’s kitchen which provides two warm cooked meals for the learner daily. Head student services for the IIE’s Varsity College Sandton Vasanthee Govender said, “We loved launching our Khuma Project with the Grade Rs, Grade 1s and Grade 2s with Khumo lunchboxes which depicts our commitment to the school that we are going to achieve great things together which will definitely be empowering in the process.”
