Nyiko pupils benefit from Hope Organisation’s generosity
The founder of Hope to Infinity, Ms Nomcebo Yaka, said they started the project to mitigate and provide solutions to social challenges.
The Tembisa-based Hope to Infinity organisation recently donated school shoes to disadvantaged pupils at Nyiko Primary School.
The founder of Hope to Infinity, Ms Nomcebo Yaka, said they started the project to mitigate and provide solutions to social challenges such as bullying at schools, lack of self esteem, negligence of children, young women and child abuse, career indecision, teenage pregnancy and substance abuse.
The organisation works together with the community and schools.
“We wanted to help the pupils who come from poor family backgrounds so that they get courage to attend school. Social challenges degrade and depress.
“It makes going to school embarrassing and almost impossible,” she said.
Ms Yaka said they will continue to make a difference to all the children who need them.
“Studies show that properly fitting shoes can enhance self confidence in school children, and boost their development and overall growth. That is a lot to get from a simple pair of shoes, but we see it work in the lives of precious children every day. We want to give them hope and dreams,” she said.
