Our Story:

About 80% of grade 4 learners in South Africa are functionally illiterate and being in a class of 74 children does not make it easy to help to teach each child in the classroom and make sure that every child is equipped with the right skills. As fellow Selbornians hearing about this problem we have decided to help contribute towards this problem that is rising within our communities. This campaign aims to raise funds for a school in Mdantsane which is in desperate need for a Literacy Centre. The funds raised will help to pay towards a literacy centre being built. This will help make classes smaller and teach children the basic skills that are needed. Our campaign to help raise funds is not only physically challenging but will also test us mentally as we will be completing a straight 36 hour ergo session and hoping that we can reach 200 000km’s.   To read more about EduSport Youth click here.
